Amazon's making that harder. For someone who doesn't have a Kindle device and can't get the Bluestacks method working for whatever reason...
Legally, it's wrong. But ethically...well, there's some considerations about giving the pirates more clicks (and possibly advertising revenue - use an adblocker, folks!), but I consider it about the same level as 'finding' a modified NoCD executable for a game to get around Windows blocking SecuROM. Which is 'buy elsewhere* if you can, but if it's the only choice...'
* GOG sells lots of older games DRM-free!
