However, I want to create collections on the reader. I watched this vid:

which made creating Collections on the PW2 look easy. But I've read that I'll be nagged to connect to the cloud via wi-fi to synch, even though these will all be sideloaded books.

I don't see a need to synch, because I'll just download the books I get from Amazon (a small percentage of those on the reader) onto my computer rather than store them in the cloud, which I don't trust. I'll archive them on my pc too.

So is there a problem with a 'nag' demanding that I connect the reader to the internet via wi-fi each time I add a book to a Collection or create a new Collection?

Please answer while I have a chance to change the order if Amazon haven't dispatched it yet.

Thanks.
No worries I received one nag after I put many books on the PW2 via USB connection. I don't plan on using wi-fi on this one. It is just easier for me.

Hope you enjoy your PW2 also. I just got mine a few days ago from Staples. The video does not show Goodreads just like mine doesn't have it. But I did not register it, I don't see a need this time. I don't want all the extras that 5.4.2.1 software has. I have 5.4.2. firmware. 5.4.2.1 has Freetime (don't want or need). So I am not updating. Just in case you don't want it, I guess you can either not update or just ignore. I chose to not update. I like the software as is so I can just read without extra stuff
