At this point it's a matter of opinion and only a court can settle it. I can see the logic of both sides. But, the whole question of DRM is murky. Amazon's intended use of the device may or may not matter, because I own the device. Nobody can really prove that anybody was financially harmed.

Hopefully it doesn't come to Amazon strong-arming libraries into removing Kindle support. If they do this they'll lose a customer for life.

Very true, nobody was financially harmed. But the DMCA does not say it's ok to remove the DRM only if nobody is financially harmed. Now Amazon may have possibly taken away our LEGAL rights to strip the DRM. Because their eBooks now will work on a K2 that has TTS, the DMCA exception may no no longer be valid. So once again Jeff could be screwing us over big time.The only way we can be sure to get our rights back is to get Amazon to remove the TTS.
