Yes. It is my understanding that the PW1 does not currently support kfx, whilst all Kindle models after this do. Currently, if you do have a newer model you can still download kf8 files using the download via usb option from the website. The speculation here is that Amazon will probably change this sooner rather than later so that even this option will download kfx for those devices that support it. This has not happened yet and of course we are all only speculating. The possibility of Amazon adding kfx support to the PW1 has also been discussed. Whilst this is possible, there seems to be some agreement that it is not likely. It is even less likely with the older Keyboard. It is also possible though I think unlikely that Amazon will abandon support for any Kindles that they do not modify to support kfx.

There are of course no guarantees here. We are all only speculating on what Amazon is likely to do.
