Any commercial use of Kindle Content is prohibited, limiting the ways users may lawfully engage with content they have licensed.
Interpretive note: The evidence span is a phrase fragment rather than a complete clause. It is presented without its grammatical subject or verb in the excerpt provided, so the full scope of what activity is restricted to personal non-commercial use cannot be confirmed from this excerpt alone. The canonical claim interprets it as applying to Kindle Content use, which is the most natural reading in context.
