Well, seeing as my usage is tied to occasionally using Wifi, especially now, I have no control over the firmware being updated every time I connect, so I imagine it is the latest firmware for the Paperwhite.
My belief wasn't based on what Amazon could do, but the sense of doing it. The Paperwhite 2 doesn't have a large amount of storage, so for Amazon to force KFX files onto it, is a very uncaring act by them, and as I said previously, bordering on being the final nail in the coffin for my buying of Kindle ebooks.
Amazon have treated me (us) badly too many times, and I have a good long list of grievances against them now. They clawed back some of that when they started showing ebook titles on their confirmation emails again, along with information inside the email, but getting rid of Download & Transfer via USB was a serious bad thing for them to do, and now using up too much space on my Paperwhite, just puts them well into the red as uncaring bite the hand that feeds you greedy selfish s#####ads.
About 4 to 5 years ago, I was on the cusp of buying a new Kindle device maybe, but luckily a local store had some Kobo devices, and my wife and I went that way, and I am so glad we did ... despite the issues we've had with those two devices ... we've learnt to work around them.
My next e-ink device will be another Kobo ... or maybe something else, but not Kindle.
