Well said.
I'm still not sure how a DMCA takedown even applies to Mobileread (other than being used as a strong arm tactic to intimidate small sites into removing anything they don't like), since Mobileread doesn't host any of Amazon's copyrighted material or even the kindlepid.py script. It sounds like Amazon is trying to use a DMCA notice to stop people from just talking about the script, which I don't think is even a legal use of a DMCA notice.
