@DocBurN: the jailbreak is "orthogonal" to device registration, i.e. it works whether the device is registered or not. It *should* even survive OTA firmware updates, but we can only tell for sure once new updates come out. (and BTW, that jailbreak bridge was NiLuJe's work, not mine).
If you want to keep your device unregistered, you can use list view for the home screen (I personally don't understand all the fuss about cover views anyway, so the first thing I do is switch back to list mode, but yeah - personal preference).
Another option is to turn on the network once and register, then put the device back into airplane mode and keep it offline. That's what I usually do.
@knc1: You can bypass the automatic registration on "first boot", but Amazon made that really difficult. IIRC, you can pretend that you want to register, then select no Wifi network at all, and then you'll find a button "register later". Or some similar procedure (that was from memory).
