Concerning the registration: you don't need to register your device with Amazon. Registration only really makes sense if you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and want it pushed to your Kindle - which, in turn, requires Wifi anyway. The only useful feature that is missing from unregistered devices is the collections, and you can use CM to handle them.
As mentioned in my earlier post, a full backup of partition 3 will also back up your registration data (but other stuff as well, like settings, collections etc.). So restoring that partition will also restore the registration state, and whatever settings you had at the time of backup.
The alternative would work just as well - get a USB Wifi stick, and make your computer act as an access point. It's up to you.
Just for the record: I now tend to keep my devices unregistered and in airplane mode. No "automatic update" surprises, no Amazon logging what I'm doing with my device. And I'm only sideloading books anyway. |
Ok, Thanks for your help, now I'm sure of what I have to do.
