It just goes to show that 3G tethering could be dangerous even on a K5 or PW, when social networking and web browsing both use web applets, and have different restrictions. It is up to us to play nice with amazon and not exploit this knowledge to the detriment of all. But useful in a pinch, if that is all you have...

I cannot see how "just clicking links" in social networking can be construed as a violation of the TOS, but just remember to not abuse it. And I will not tell you which links to click to get there. Learn that yourself (like playing a learning game).

And of course, configuring ANY tethering can be abusive, because the kindle does not care where it gets the network access it is sharing (either wifi or 3G).
