Uploading actual IP (for instance, (repackaged?) Amazon firmware/bytecode) directly to MobileRead is against the guidelines. Linking to offsite pre-packaged resources is permitted in this case of easily-available IP (but not hotlinking downloads).

Teaching people how to hack devices to improve functionality, even providing development tools that facilitate that (e.g. kindletool) are acceptable as long as they don't blatantly violate ethical behavior -- something judged on a case-by-case basis. (Disabling ads that you agreed to for a discounted price, tethering to steal Amazon's 3G -- you should know if you're being a problem. )
