Are authors or publishers hurt by this? No, I'm still acting under the terms set by my local library.
Is Amazon hurt? They'd have a hard time proving that they are.
Do they have any legal grounds to stop this practice? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer.
Will I still buy from Amazon? Yes.
If they try to stop me from reading *library books* I'll get rid of my Kindle and never buy anything from Amazon again.

Well, I am a lawyer, and no matter how I dissect the matter, I don't see how either of those python scripts does anything in violation of the DMCA.
