Hey. I just wanted to share a way to prevent updates without jb and wifi still active. I got it working on two PW devices. It should work on other devices too.
You just need to block those domains in your router and then restart your kindle so it doesn't update with cached dns. Of course your router needs to support blocking by fqdn.

softwareupdates.amazon.com
updates.amazon.com
prod.ota-cloudfront.net

I'm using the fritzbox router with activated parental control feature for the kindles.
