meeera and DNSB, thank you for your quick responses.
I'll take my Aura E2 down to the local library to access their wifi network. Hopefully I'll be able to complete the setup that way.
Re XP, agreed, the OS is past it. Sticking with it is becoming increasingly trying with ever more software, peripherals and online services not supporting it. The arrival of this eReader may force my plans to upgrade in about mid-2018 to be brought forward to the immediate future.
I'll report back when I've had a chance to try the library's wifi, probably in a few days.
Until then, happy new year!
