The solution I have so far is to restrict Amazon's DNS servers, but we'll see how effective that proves to be. If the device auto updates during activation then I've got a problem.

The WiFi or fill-up trick might be device specific. At least on the latest ColorSoft, there is no way around the first forced update after registering. If you prevent the download+install any which way, it will keep on asking you to retry or jump to another WiFi network. No way out of the loop. You cannot trick it by starting the download, and restarting or anything. Luckily the forced update right now is 5.18.0.1.0, which you can jailbreak. And after jailbreak you can manually install 5.18.1 which retains the jailbreak. But at some point, Amazon might enforce 5.18.1 via the post-registration auto update, at which point JB will be locked out.
