The title was originally: If I run Calibre on Debian stable, which may have older software packages, could I encounter compatibility issues with Kindle firmware?

I currently own an older model of Kindle Paperwhite, and it's functioning well. However, I have concerns about potential issues if Calibre remains unupdated for a year or two, given that Debian packages receive only bug fixes during that time. Could this pose problems for Kindle devices? I prefer to minimize my reliance on the Flatpak option and avoid opting for Debian testing as much as possible.
