So Im saying the answer is "no".

However, since you can buy Kindles on ebay, they have no way of knowing whether your Kindle is working or not. Breaking DRM I would say would be an option.

Have you tried calling Kindle support, and asking if you could still download books if 'your' kindle was broken?
DG .... you can always download books. Broken Kindle or not ... as long as there is a registered Kindle on the account, you can download books for that Kindle onto your PC.

Now .... reading them would be difficult (let's say impossible) on that Kindle since it's broken, but there is no way that Amazon knows or cares if the Kindle on the account is broken or not. If they cared, I suppose they would have made the Whispernet download the only option. Although, I think that would have been a crashingly bad idea.
