Nobody with sane mind cares. You may buy Kindle, but then you jailbreak it right away. You can "buy" Kindle e-books, but then you exfiltrate these right away. When you stand your ground, what can Amazon allow you or not allow?

Sure, if you don't mind playing a stupid cat and mouse game with one of the largest corporations on the planet, go for it. I did it for a bit and got real tired of the drag.
Now if a book is available from a DRM free source, I buy it. Otherwise something else
Spoken like a techie, with the attitude NYers have to the "flyover states".
Only tech-savvy people who are morally OK with pirating and jailbreaking are "sane"?
Hardware I pay for should be mine. If I do not jailbreak it, it is still theirs, despite me paying for it. They cheat, not me. Same goes for e-books, they can cut me off, they can (and do) change contents on the fly. I keep exfiltrated books for myself, and that is right.

Like you mean, when people from what you call "flyover states" demonized cities so much, that they are ok sending armies into them?
Lets be real, the overwhelming majority if derision and toxicity flows the other way.
You're financially incentivising them. You could do the same process with Kobo, without rewarding Amazon at all.
