I registered it and then disconnected it from the I-net.
I had not used it much until recently when I have read a few books on it, trying to break away from using audiobooks.

Somehow or another it was reconnected, and a rash of garbage has begun to show up on my KPW, books I do not want, previews of book I do not want, and so on.
So, I disconnected it again.

As long as I was messing around with it, I decided to try creating some categories.
All category options are greyed out.
Going on line, I find that all workarounds I can find are quite old and do not seem to apply to this model or firmware version.
Is there any way to create categories without leaving my KPW open to invasion by Amazon?
If the Kindle is registered, then you can create collections without the internet connection. If you deregistered it, then it won't work. And you can disable the homescreen view with recommendations, in the settings. All my Kindles just show the list of books actually on the devices, nothing else (you must choose the option "Downloaded", not "All", on the homescreen).
