According to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=75 the current OTA blocking works with any recent version of firmware.

"As to bypassing ota binaries, it works as well. The most recent FW 5.13.6 is dated April 2021 and my KV is still on FW 5.13.5. Not that it matters for we have got WatchThis for any device running a FW version <= to 5.14.2.
Do it manually or by renametobin KUAL extension."

Also, I found this info: "update.bin.tmp.partial does not work for firmware greater or equal to 5.11. OTA mishap can happen on any FW after 5.11.x, so just make sure to use Rename OTA bins stuff".

I already downgraded my Voyage to 5.12.1 as this is supposed to be the last version supporting the old decryptable KFX format.
To avoid KFX books entirely on Voyage you would have to revert as far as before version 5.6.5. In this case Amazon may not even deliver files to the device, it is hard to know at this point.

I applied the renamebin KUAL extension to prevent firmware upgrades, so far so good.

If you have more info in regards to benefits of staying on 5.11.x firmware on our Voyage please share.
For now it looks like 5.12.1 is as good as any 5.11.x version based on my brief research.
