  1. Registration to Amazon is needed to manage collections. On a hacked device, this can be faked, also there is a firewall to block their servers.
  2. Connecting to Amazon is needed for two things: they proxy the Wikipedia lookup, and Bing translations, through their servers. (This is why it works over 3G).
  3. You cannot sync books wirelessly, although you can mail them to your Kindle through Amazon's servers. It is possible you can also rig something up with USBNetwork on a hacked device.
  4. By using the calibre content server, you can browse the mobile version of the content server using the Kindle's experimental browser.
