I'm stuffing it. To quote myself:

I don't have a problem with it and my conscience is clear. I doubt Amazon or Sony have problems with anything that puts more money in their pockets (same with the publishers).

I'm purchasing ebooks that I never would have bought in paper. My horizons have been broadened. It is more likely that I will read it if it is in eBook form.
I think it's unrealistic to think that Amazon doesn't know this is happening. They probably like it. It gives them a bigger stick to wave at the publishers. If they have a concern they'll set up the link to work in such a way that "stuffing" won't work.
