Just wanted to give a heads-up that this did not work for me. I have those three domains blocked in Pi-hole and yet my Scribe updated from 5.16.9 to 5.16.21 when I toggled off airplane mode for around 20 minutes this morning.

I can confirm that some requests to softwareupdates.amazon.com were correctly blocked; no requests to the other two domains were made. There were several requests to random cloudfront.net subdomains, but not specifically to prod.ota-cloudfront.net.

There were also a number of suspicious calls to amazon-owned domains around the time of the update, but it's hard to say which ones are directly related to the update. (Unfortunately I don't know exactly when the update was downloaded, and there's a lot of traffic on my network right now.)
  • pins.amazon.com
  • api.amazon.com
  • kindle-time.amazon.com
  • ntp-g7g-amazon.com
  • cde-ta-g7g.amazon.com
  • todo-ta-g7g.amazon.com
  • s3.amazonaws.com
  • s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
  • sync.datamate.kindle.amazon.dev
  • prod.eu-west-1.mystique.digital-books.amazon.dev
  • daols-opf-eu.amazon.com
  • unagi-na.amazon.com
  • device-messaging-na.amazon.com

Plus other similar ones on amazon.co.uk.

Anyway, just wanted to highlight that unfortunately this method is not safe currently.
