Get a Kindle For Free? (But Only If You Hate It)

So this popped up when I went to Amazon.com last night. I’m going to call it like I see it: this feels like a scam.

For one thing, I’m not that prolific a book customer at Amazon; I bought a lot of books as Christmas gifts there, but otherwise Amazon’s my last resort for books.

Point two: How do you prove you hate your Kindle, and if you do hate it, why wouldn’t you want to return it? It can’t be transferred to any other account, and presumably you won’t be able to buy any new books for it, since Amazon sees everything you do with it, and, after all, you hate it so much.

Here’s the crucial clause in the suspiciously unrigorous and incomplete terms and conditions–>

So I’m baffled. Anybody else heard of this? Should I be looking for a catch this hard, or just buying one and saying I hate it? Or is that the catch?
