hey all,

just a request for some advice. I'm a bit of a cheapskate, I don't want to pay for sponsor offers removal if I can avoid it. I have a Kindle Basic KT3 with the firmware 5.9.2.0.1. If I recall correctly it has never been online, although I might be wrong. I made the "update.bin.tmp.partial" dummy folder in the kindle's visible partition's root directory. If I go online with it to browse wikipedia, will I get the sponsor's offers? Is there a way to avoid them without paying? I like the default screensavers it has now (just some images showing off the E-ink display's quality), and my previous kindle had some adverts there which I'd rather not have.

I don't wish to jailbreak it, the hardware jailbreak seems like an awfully risky. Should I just keep it offline forever?

thanks
