It definitely will depend on the age of the device and the firmware level. A fully patched Kindle 4 Touch will download and sync via WiFi, and you can grab the KF8-format book using Calibre with DeDRM installed and configured correctly.
Registering older devices is a bit of an issue, as you must enable and configure two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Amazon account, then disable it. The registration attempt from your older Kindle with your Amazon username and password will then generate a 2FA token that will be sent to you in whatever way your 2FA had been configured (e-mail, SMS, etc.), and you must then register again with your Amazon username but use the 2FA token (6-digit number) as the password. An alternate that sometimes works is to keep 2FA enabled on the account, and append the token to your normal password.
