Of course not.
I think you're thinking of censorship as something very different from what the rest of us are. Censorship is to take something that is available to the public, and to remove parts that the censor feels should not be revealed. A good example would be if the sports journalists who uncovered the various recruiting scandals in the NCAA a few months ago (that's US college football, for the non-Americans out there) had been allowed to publish their stories only if they left out the names of the colleges that were affected. That would be censorship.
But by your definition, not allowing you to read a Kindle book you have not bought or borrowed is censorship. That makes no sense.
