The calculation on brute forcing Kindle keys is flawed in two ways.

(i) The key is actually only eight characters. The two other characters are a checksum.
(ii) Kindle ebook keys are not limited to A-Z and 0-9.

One error cancels out the other - it's still impractical to brute-force a Kindle ebook's DRM key.
