Yeah, Kindle's are able to be infected with viruses. I wouldn't be surprised to see some eventually.
I just wonder how many, if any, would really be affected by it, though. I imagine that Kindle users (more often than not) use Amazon's Whispersync service for their book delivery. So, the malicious code would have to be in a book from Amazon (and I also assume that Amazon has some kind of virus-scan for their distributed files) and I'm not sure how successful that would be. But, then again, I'm just guessing here about all of that. I've been known to be wrong.
