Have you ever considered answering the actually asked question instead of trying to ram your opinions down others' throats? Screen quality isn't particularly relevent to someone that doesn't plan to use it for reading and plenty of people are happy with PW4 screen quality even though there is a general consensus that it is a bit fuzzy.

Actual answer to question:
To avoid KFX wirelessly from amazon the firmware version must be 5.6.x or lower. I suspect the lowest firmware released for the PW4 is well above that. It would be rare for currently available used kindles to have a firmware low enough to avoid KFX unless it is a model too old to support KFX so it is very likely that a PW3 or Voyage would need to be jailbroken so as to downgrade the firmware.
