FYI, I have returned my first bricked PW2 (my fault with diags partition) to Amazon. As it was bricked to a state I couldn't even boot it in any way or get access to USB to remove anything I installed to it (jailbreak, rescue pack, devcerts, kindlet jailbreak, KUAL a couple of extensions), it was returned that way with all modifications inside.
Amazon's support staff, which are indeed very kind and well prepared (kudos to Amazon on that matter), provided me with a new unit in 3 days (international shipment) and, after I receive the new unit, return the defective one.
They just asked if I let my 'broken' Kindle drop or spit water over it (both answered no, which is truth). Not a single question about reverse engineering, decompilation, disassembly, or circumvention or any other question about the source of the content I had in it.
I have my doubts if even Amazon could (or may have, or want to) check what was inside it before reinstall it from scratch and resell it as a refurbished one. From the business perspective (cost), it doesn't worth the time spent on that as they may already have access to all the modifications we're doing right here on this forums. We are a drop in the ocean.
That's why I don't believe Amazon may enforce its policies regarding Kindle's modifications in any way on the near future.
