I know of one potential problem if you purchase or borrow books through Amazon

I haven't verified this for e-ink Kindle devices, but I know that the Kindle apps send the internal version (build number) to Amazon when requesting a book download. This is used by the server to determine which format to return the book in based on known versions and the formats they support.

An unknown version or version higher than your actual firmware may result in Amazon not delivering books or delivering them in an incompatible format.
