There is no way to register without Wi-Fi. Maybe you could find the serial in the settings, and then call Amazon to register it for you.

However, there are three things you gain by doing so, all of which require Wi-Fi to function:

- syncing
- auto-delivery
- cloud collections

As your Kindle is not on Wi-Fi most of the time, it's of no use to register.

If you still want to, can't you pinch a Wi-Fi at the library, or Starbucks, or something? Most libraries and many lunchrooms over here have Wi-Fi for free.
