In the USA, the "Free Wifi" is provided by AT&T Hotspots.
Which do forward (or NAT, or proxy) the Ident queries.
And if they don't, then you will never have to make a fake reply.
No harm, no problem.
Hmm...
Another consideration which I did not mention above - -
The default iptables in a Kindle are set to block the queries, so they will not respond to "ident" queries unless updated to do so.
