As they are currently shippng - yes it would be.

You will have to downgrade your firmware (directions in JB thread link) ;
Jailbreak it ;
Let it re-update ;
then install what you wish.

Note: There is no guarantee that it will remain that easy forever.
Amazon could issue a new firmware version that "fixes" the "Downgrade Attack" above at anytime.
