Hey, we actually use these things, you know.
P.S. I would not worry about the warranty voiding. People have sent in their jailbroken Kindles for repair/replacement before, and no one noticed.
Amazon is not checking the firmware for oddities, their drones are just trying to turn them on and chucking them in a bin most likely.
Waste of time to do otherwise, when they are just going to reflash the whole thing anyway. And it would cost more time to do the checking ON EVERY SINGLE KINDLE than they would save by catching the relatively small handful that jailbreak theirs.
About the only thing you could do to make them notice is, I suppose, using the screensavers hack and sending in a Kindle with a very suspiciously NOT Amazon-provided screensaver... they couldn't fail to notice that.
As of yet, no one has ever reported doing so. "Coincidentally", no one has reported Amazon refusing their Kindle for warranty violations either.
Amazon is just trying to scare people into not causing trouble, it is an empty threat.
