Not really, but kinda.
1. AFAIK registering any Kindle will allow you to access the Download and Transfer option for your purchased titles, even those published after Jan 3 2023. (for now)
2. If you want take titles from the kindle instead, you will probably want a
3rd or 4th gen device because image heavy books use azw6 files. The
plugin for merging azw6 files doesnt currently support those and theyre lower quality B/W images anyway. More details from jhowell and Duckie in
this post. Kindle Keyboard (3rd gen) and Touch(4th gen) are confirmed to not split files. I would assume a (non-touch) 4th gen would work too but havent seen anyone confirm it.
@ownedbycats if you could put a note below the jhowell quote in the first post about his subsequents tests for azw6 file image splitting that would probably help clarify.
