I'm guessing it might be possible to do something with DNS pihole style? I may dig into it a little.
Possibly, but probably would need turned off to download a book you buy or use Kindle Unlimited / Borrows. The store doesn't work now on the K3. Actually only getting the bought ebooks works on the K3.

I've not had the problem myself. Since the end of D&T I use the WiFi on K3 or PW3 only to get a Kindle ebook I've bought if it's unavailable (series already reading) or too expensive elsewhere.

Really the solution is for Amazon to fix it. It's not easy to trigger.

I've not attempted to use the browser etc for years. It's rubbish. I did switch to reading almost entirely on the Kobo, but I have Kindles to buy ebooks from Amazon. I passed on my Oasis 2 to a friend as I found it inferior to the Libra H20 and Libra 2 (both same size screen).
