I would like to prevent Amazon from pushing updates to (or removing books from) my k3w, but I still want the option of buying books on the Kindle.
All the suggestions I've seen on the threads here thus far are anecdotal, empirical ("I did X and it worked!"), blunt (block all amazon subnets with iptables), or all three. I'll wait for something a bit more surgical, thanks.
It's not clear to me that anyone understands the exact mechanism by which updates are pushed to the device. If they do, they haven't yet written it up on mobileread for our benefit
