This is a difficult issue, and worthy of debate. The wireless capability of the Kindle and other readers is a big benefit, but you’re right – it could also be it’s biggest drawback. It seems to me, the best way to prevent the censoring abuse you are warning against, is to stay educated and vigilant.

Amazon caving in is just business. Especially, if they end up going to court and losing millions over the issue. Publishers can make out like bandits if they win in court. So, it is better for Amazon to just bow out and retain their money for more important issues than sit their and and get pounced on.

The fact that amazon could push content to the kindle could be a great feature (lets say, extra chapters for books that customers already bought p.e.). The example given above is scary though. Customers should not have to worry about the content they bought legally. This should be very clear in their terms of service.
