I've often wondered about the users who aren't doing an end run around the location limits, but simply using a VPN for privacy reasons.

I thought I had read a similar statement about the Kindle Store, but Amazon has recently been updated and moving some help pages around, and I don't see it now. I might be mistaken in my memory.
Thanks for posting this. The last time I looked I saw no such term in relation to Kindle books. It doesn't particularly surprise me to see this term in relation to Amazon video. I would also not be surprised to see a similar term in relation to Amazon Music. It is interesting that you are in breach of the Kindle Store T&C if you remove DRM, but apparently not if you circumvent geo-blocking.
