Code:
A ^a.$ 192.168.0.25
That obviously implies setting up the WiFi connection the 'advanced' way on the Kindle to set a custom DNS server (here, 192.168.0.25, which happened to be the local IP of my desktop at the time).

NOTE: I don't remember which domains OTAs are pushed through, but that could also be a roundabout way to blackhole them.
Keep that thought !!!!
