I believe that version mismatch is now not an issue now after the manual update. What I meant by safe was that this version could still be Jailbreak-able (although harder) should something go wrong.
I see. But what does vulnerable mean exactly here? Can I just install the hotfix again and make it less vulnerable?
I never knew that was an option. I will try that out. However, registering the kindle still means there will be the need to connect to the internet, and here in Taiwan internet is pretty fast (unless Chinese commies do stupid stuff) which means that the update could have a chance download and install and break my Jailbreak.
This Kindle Oasis 3 is relatively new, being purchased in fall 2021, so I do not think such a version is available on this Kindle. Thanks anyway!

As someone noted earlier another option to ensure there is no possibility of a firmware update while online you can fill up the disk space to leave less than 200mb of available storage. That should leave plenty of room for any dictionary or book downloads but make sure a firmware update is impossible.
