The gist is that hackers on XDA Forums figured out how to install
Amazon's Silk web browser on Android devices other than the Kindle Fire
and take advantage of Amazon's back-end servers that accelerate browsing.
Amazon is calling sch use "theft of service." Seems like a missed
opportunity. Provide a free, ad-supported version of the browser in the
marketplace and everyone will be happy. Particularly Amazon, and it
gains a larger captive audience.
