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

What I would do is when you buy a Kindle book is have it sent to Kindle For PC instead seeing you are sideloading USB via your MYK page. That will keep you from having duplicates. I do this to keep it from putting too much books on my Kindles.
Indexing does take alot of battery so I can see why it happened.. You have to connect WiFi to receive the new special offers each 4 to 5 days. If you don't then you have the same screensaver and offers even after it expires.
