So I've begun the quest for a kindle paperwhite on a jailbreakable firmware. I'm going to be scouring craigslist but I need to know how to protect any potential Paperwhite 3 from getting it's firmware automatically updated...

Does anyone know if the firmware where the third digit is 7 or lower (example 5.8.7.0.1).... will update automatically?

This way, if it does update automatically over the air I can ask the people on craigslist to disconnect their router and check the firmware version in a bathroom with no 3g signal so that the firmware doesn't update.
