The document you linked is very outdated and for some reason the page has title "Blackberry Installation" ???
I believe that document is not valid any more.

What Kindle Terms say about the software:

Quote:
2. Device and Software
Use of the Software. You may use the Software only on a Kindle or through a Reading Application on a Supported Device. Additional terms contained in the Amazon.com Conditions of Use apply to the Software. For additional terms that apply to certain third party software, see the Legal, Legal & Compliance, or similar section in the Settings menu of your Kindle or the Legal Notices section of your Reading Application.
Linked Conditions of Use state this:
Quote:
1. Use of the Amazon Software. You may use Amazon Software solely for purposes of enabling you to use and enjoy the Amazon Services as provided by Amazon, and as permitted by the Conditions of Use, these Software Terms and any Service Terms. You may not incorporate any portion of the Amazon Software into your own programs or compile any portion of it in combination with your own programs, transfer it for use with another service, or sell, rent, lease, lend, loan, distribute or sub-license the Amazon Software or otherwise assign any rights to the Amazon Software in whole or in part. You may not use the Amazon Software for any illegal purpose. We may cease providing any Amazon Software and we may terminate your right to use any Amazon Software at any time. Your rights to use the Amazon Software will automatically terminate without notice from us if you fail to comply with any of these Software Terms, the Conditions of Use or any other Service Terms. Additional third party terms contained within or distributed with certain Amazon Software that are specifically identified in related documentation may apply to that Amazon Software (or software incorporated with the Amazon Software) and will govern the use of such software in the event of a conflict with these Conditions of Use. All software used in any Amazon Service is the property of Amazon or its software suppliers and protected by United States and international copyright laws.
Quote:
2. No Reverse Engineering. You may not, and you will not encourage, assist or authorize any other person to copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble, or otherwise tamper with, the Amazon Software, whether in whole or in part, or create any derivative works from or of the Amazon Software.
Long story short, I cannot find anything that would prohibit copying additional certificate to Kindle system partition.
