Of course it's allowed. You can do whatever you want with the CSS.

What's going to happen next, people considering a Right-Click > "View Source" as hacking?

Hmmm, but what if they used @media in their files to direct slightly different CSS for each Amazon version.

Doesn't Amazon interpret the @media, then generate new CSS per each (MOBI + KF8 + KFX)? Or does it still carry the same CSS over to all 3 versions?

Good detective work.
