This is entirely off-topic, but to clear up a few things:
I mentioned the model in my first post and if you look under my avatar you'll see the ereaders I have - a Sony 505 (hardly used now) and a Paperwhite 2.

The Paperwhite 2 is in permanent aeroplane mode, because I don't like wi-fi, it gives me a headache, and have other means of getting the internet to my computer (home plugs). I contacted Amazon about this when I purchased the Paperwhite TWO, and they registered it by phone. I transfer all books, including those bought from Amazon via USB. I do lose some function, like collections and vocabulary builder etc.

So it has the original firmware, but I'm now confused about what this has to do with the UI. From what others have described, I'd prefer to leave it as it is.

The OP has objected to this off-topic discussion, so maybe we should go back to helping him.

Thanks haydnfan for informing knc1 of what I actually said.
