I do believe that there are creative solutions like that waiting to be found along with other lesser-known ways of defeating Kindle DRM that are only infrequently mentioned on MobileRead. For example, back when the Kindle Cloud Reader was able to download books for offline viewing there was a script that could export them from web browser storage and remove their DRM. That is no longer possible.

I don't know about your particular suggestion. Something like that could work but there is a danger. Current DRM removal techniques make use of books previously downloaded by Amazon's software and do not involve interaction with Amazon's servers. Changing how apps interact with Amazon runs a much greater risk of detection and possible banning of your Amazon account.
