I'm still interested in doing this on my KOA3 - so I'm probably going to go ahead and sell my current one.

I think the most likely way to get an older firmware from amazon is to buy a kindle without ads - as they have a longer delivery time frame. I'm assuming this is because they need to be dug out from the back of a warehouse, so are less likely to be updated.
Does that sound likely?

I can also check the date of manufacture from the serial number I guess, when it is paired to my account, and before it is delivered. Aggh.

I'm updating my son's PW now and I can't believe how easy this is compared to previous jailbreaks.

Updated to add: Or maybe certified refurbished kindles are less likely to have the most up-to-date software?
