I'm not saying Amazon did anything "wrong," it's just creepy....

Without doing research, or being a specialist in the area, I am certain, someone can construct a reasonable argument, why accessing your Kindle without authorization, to remove a legally obtained file ("property"), would fall within one of the definitions of prohibited activity under the Computer Fraud&Abuse Act.
Even if Amazon wins such a case, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, with considerable costs in good-will. So, they'll likely settle.
But all this is a moot point,
it seems.
