I've been able to register "out of support" old models. Not supported just means no updates and maybe no shopping via the ereader.

How does a person know that he/she may have possibly hit the DRM jackpot with Kindle Readers (not Fire)? On your browser, go to Manage Your Content and Devices -> Devices, click into the device of interest and hope you find this note:
Software security updates : No longer guaranteed.
This past December, I just registered a second hand Kindle Paperwhite (actual mfg name) that was running software version 5.6.1.1. This is one of the
blessed Kindles.
I find the model designations of Kindle readers to be somewhat inconsistent. For example, there are street names like DX, DXG, and DX2. I know I have a DX in Graphite color, but the Settings/Device page only lists the model as DX.
Is the OP's Kindle one of the desirable old models which permit DeDRM'ed file sideloads?
