Amazon does not warn you or ask permission, their system just does it.
Actually one way to wait a year (if even possible depending on the firmware version the PW shipped with) is to do what I do--never connect it to the internet and side load everything to it with Calibre.

My Voyage is currently running Firmware Version 5.7.4 and I'm perfectly happy with it--haven't felt the need to either update the firmware or jail break it.
