It is revenue stream protection by Amazon.

Without the update, you can still purchase from their store (with time to think) on another device and side-load your purchases.

Although in the case of the PW-1 - - it will prevent you from jailbreaking it once it upgrades to 5.6.1.1
So jailbreak it now, before upgrading.
Even if you have no use for the jailbreak now because you will not be adding it in the future.

Older devices than the PW-1 can still be jailbroken.
Newer devices than the PW-1 can be jailbroken while running firmware 5.6.5

There is no firmware 5.6.5 for the PW-1
There is no software jailbreak for 5.6.1.1 on the PW-1 (or the PW-3, but that one will run 5.6.5).

The DX(F) devices are a special case - still to be fully determined.
DX(F) == The Frankenstein version 3 firmware installed on the version 2 devices.
