Actually, you are slightly incorrect here. You see, kindlefix works on Mobipocket eBooks. Amazon owns Mobipocket and the Mobipocket DRM. So when you shift a Mobipocket eBook from Mobipocket to the Kindle, you are in fact giving Amazon a possible legal beef with what you just did. But, Amazon can see what content you have on your Kindle if they desire. The TOS says they can.
