JosieB and Tarana are right, of course. I already use my NOOK Simple Touch without turning the wifi on, and at this point I could close the B&N account completely and see no impact.
So I will use this device (and a spare!) until the batteries give out. That could be a long time! I hope someone will still be making eink displays at that point, because I really don't want to read from a backlit screen.
Thanks all for your help.
