I don't have wifi at home and loaded 1500+ books on my kindle 4ntso. then my screensaver told me i need to connect to wifi to download the latest offers.

So i went to mcdonalds and downloaded the latest offers and my battery died because my kindle downloaded a bunch books on my pending deliveries that I already loaded using the usb cord, then it decided to index them all and the kindle ran out of battery.

I now learned to never turn on wifi ever again. and I will never have to see the stupid ads also.

Is this normal?
