Thats already the case.

amazon.de stopped allowing download files to pc. If you put your kindle online it forces a firmware upgrade on it.
I also think it messes up your book list because the one time I did that (with an old PW) I had all previously bought books on it as well as any book samples I ever used. took me a while to clean up that mess. but admitedly I might have made a mistake.

anyway, it is way too risky to go online with your old kindle.
