knc1 Thanks for your answer.

The fact is that my KPW is still in the USA with my aunt, she received it from Amazon three days ago and she will bring it to me as my birthday gift in the next weeks. Since I don't know how the KPW behaves when it's unregistered (and being afraid of not being able to use it at all without registering it first) I told my aunt about the Wi-Fi registration process so she opened it and successfully registered it with my Amazon account. So I'm theoretically Ok, but I'm still concerned because once it's here with me and no Wi-Fi at all, if someday something happens and I have to reset my PW, then I would have to register it again, that's why I'm researching how to register it here in case someday I have to.
Is there a way to backup the entire file system of the Kindle PW so the registration status and Amazon account configuration is also backed up? (I mean like a Windows image backup, where everything is backed up including the Windows activation status, partitions, etc). Since my Kindle is already registered and new, if I back it up, reset it and restore the backup, will the registration status be restored too? If this is possible, would you please tell me how to do it?
In case that it doesn't work that way, I'm thinking about buying a USB Wi-Fi Adapter and configure it to act as an Access Point, that way I could connect my Kindle Paperwhite via Wi-Fi to my PC. Would the PW then register with Amazon using my Pc's Internet connection?

About the Jailbreak. I've been reading many articles here in the forum and I have the pages explaining how to do it. I also have the Jailbreak files for the PW 5.3.1, the kindle-usbnet-0.7.N file for installing the USBNetwork and the Collections Manager 2.3.5. BTW I'd like to know a little more about what for is USBNetwork (everything I've read just says that it will let my Kindle to connect via SSH with my PC but I'd like to know some examples of what for is it).

I've seen some tools/applications/mods here in the Forum for the Paperwhite, can you recommend the best ones?

I apologize for the many questions, it's just that I want to be sure of knowing the possibilities and the options before doing anything when my PW arrives.
Thanks in advance.
