I don't know if you're allowed to do that: AFAIK, Kindle book format requires DRM, and Creative Commons licenses (like the one used for OSM) explicitly prohibit the application of DRM to CC-licensed content.

DRM is optional for worked published on the Kindle Direct Publishing store. (cf. https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A2Y41NKKEUCDEF#3-13 https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A36BYK5S7AJ2NQ#3-13 https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=AT1K7B0DRETM0 ).
And no, I don't use DRM at all on these, because the CC licence forbids it, because I think DRM should never exist, and because I'm a fan of the openness.
You'll also note that I attribute "OpenStreetMap Contributors" as the author of the book(s) (cf. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0052TSHO0 )

I had no idea that was an option, but I'm very glad to hear it. Good luck!
