About the earlier wifi issue. I've downloaded both the User Manual and the Quick Guide manual. In the latter, Step 2 is: Connect to wifi and follow set up instructions. Step 3 is: Follow instructions to sign in or create a new account.

How do I do this without access to wifi. Like I said earlier, when I bought the Paperwhite Amazon did all the account registration over the phone.
How quickly do you start getting headches from exposure to wifi? Since you only need wifi enabled for a very brief time to get the device setup, could you get through those few minutes and then disable the wifi?

If that's not an option, do you have a trusted friend who could do the setup for you on their wifi, perhaps while you are in another room?

I ask because it seems a real shame to disqualify so many devices because of what is a very temporary situation. Once setup is done, you won't really need wifi at all, if you sideload everything from PC.
