false!

The wifi/3G is on, or off. If it is off, the device cannot automatically turn it on, just as they cannot delete, remove or otherwise tamper with the content on the Kindle itself, only the archive on their own website, which is hosted on their server.

Also updated firmware is not automatic, it is manual update only, at least with the Kindle 1 and 2, not sure about the 3.
