I'm sure it is against Amazon's terms and conditions to use it with anything but a Kindle or Amazon app. But then it is against Amazon's terms and conditions to remove DRM from kindle books, or to read kindle books on anything other than a Kindle or amazon app.

As I understand it, when the the terms and conditions of a contract conflict with the law, then the law wins. So it is legal to remove DRM and to read kindle books on other devices in many countries despite what Amazon's T&Cs say, as long as doing so doesn't break other laws such as copyright law. Perhaps the same applies to fonts?

Edit: Of course to use it I would have to obtain the font legally in the first place, such as by buying a Kindle with the font installed. I don't mean to suggest that the font could be distributed, any more than a purchased ebook could be.
