If you purchased a Kindle 2 recently, watch out what you’re doing with it. It’s being reported that Amazon threatened a site that offered instructions on how to trick the Kindle ino reading other types of files.

A Russian hacker found a way to view non-proprietary files on the Kindle and that’s why Amazon came in strong, talking DMCA at the wrongdoers. The software wasn’t even hosted on the site in question. Who will Amazon go after next? Will the company sue everyone taking advantage of the Kindles in a way they shouldn’t?
