this has all been counted and re-counted so Amazon makes a profit.

Totally irrelevent. You got a $40 discount on your Kindle by agreeing to accept advertising. That was a contract that you entered into freely and willingly. You are breaking the terms of your contract by removing the ads. It's plain dishonest. If you don't want the ads, pay the $40 to remove them legitimately.
