That's really something entirely different than malware. You know that Amazon books on kindle are subject to that. It's not malware on the Kindle, it's their whole schtick.

At the time it was suspected, but unknown. I remember the outrage, I'm not sure If I was lurking on here before I made an account, or I read it on slashdot or digg or something. Here are the HN comments from the time. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=710506
