Thanks in advance!
No, it is not absolutely necessary.
BUT if it bricks before the touch screen becomes active, you will be returning it for exchange rather than just clearing the problem.
Your choice.

The change is recorded both in Amazon's database and on the Kindle.

Yes.
Very aggressively.

Only if you do not want Amazon to update your firmware.
Your choice.
