Could you perhaps both try leaving on wifi for a few days to see if in fact you could live with that, assuming you can charge Kindle at reasonable intervals?

I think you both upgraded the firmware, yes?

It may be possible to swap the menu positions of "Shop in Kindle Store" with "Settings" to save some keypressing, but I haven't yet looked at that in detail.
I don't leave WiFi on because my battery drains as it is with it off. You will find with the K4 battery consumption changes as you load it with more books. I use mine 4 to 8 hours a day so if I left WiFi on I would have to charge it every few days. Right now I get 14 days of charge with it off. When I had about 20 books on here it went to 18 days.
