Yes, only newer devices AFAIK were blocked.

Newer Kindles cannot have the computer create collections without a jailbreak and a separate plugin. So that's not really relevant to the topic at hand. It's only relevant if the Kindle can have the computer create collections from unmodified firmware.
Why does that make it irrelevant? All I said was that any device which can have its database accessed and modified is compatible with ANY RANGE of calibre columns.

Jailbroken Kindles can have their databases accessed, thus the topic is relevant for jailbroken Kindles (as well as older models).

Correct.
