Device: Kindle Oasis 2017
I am new to the Kindle and I know there is no jailbreak yet for the Oasis 2017 or if there ever will be.

I got mine no long ago and I had to get a replacement due to screen issues so it is due to arrive soon. To prevent it from automatically updating I just need to create a folder called 'update.bin.tmp.partial' in the root of the Kindle when it is connected to my PC and that should prevent any updates correct? Should I do this in a console in Windows or on a Linux computer?

Anything special I should do with it once I get it out of the box? I saw somewhere where people were interested in the files contained on it when it is received. Right now it shows up in my Amazon account but would assume the device is unassigned until it gets internet the first time to check Amazon's servers.
