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.
Whoops, I was obviously talking through my hat; I mistakenly thought the OP planned to read on it -- which wouldn't make sense.

Creeping off now....
