My suggestion is that anyone who has a K2, return it since it's less then 30-days and include a letter telling Amazon EXACTLY why you are returning it. Let them know how disgusted you are at this DMCA notice. Maybe they will listen, but probably not. But it cannot hurt to try. Then go out and get a Sony or EZ Reader/BeBook or Gen3 and be happy Amazon no longer owns you.

If you want to sell me your like new working K2 for $100, offer open to say the first three people, I'm sure I can find homes for them.
I'm just happy to help
Like the PS3, it's very easy to hurt the seller of the hardware. Buy the unit. Use the features, but never buy media from THEM. In the case of the PS3, buy used and/or just play blu-ray. No media profits? They'll notice.
One can spend the rest of one's life reading the free and/or non-DRM stuff.
As for Amazon's DRM, well, we signed a contract with them upon agreeing to the service/etc. They spell it out pretty clearly, in short "do not hack our stuff". So it goes. Perhaps they'll relax in a few years. Perhaps not. Plastic Logic is coming kids, and I know what I want to buy
