I know this thread is necro, but I just bought a new Kindle Touch (with ads), v5.6.0.1.

I would like to fake register it to remove/prevent the GoodReads icon and/or files from installing themselves. (I have OCD and it's REALLY bothering me that I see this icon and don't want it or need it).

As you may already know, the settings menu is gimped unless registered. I've read somewhere here that I'd need disassemble to flip some relay and use a breakout to root. While I'm mechanically adept, I'm fearful of damaging the housing whilst prying things apart.

Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.
