If you want to register your Kindle, it can be done without wi-fi by logging into your Kindle account on a PC and submitting your Kindle's serial number. Done
Many people including myself prefer to side load books, that is download them to a PC first, then transfer them to a Kindle by USB. Doing so means that wi-fi has little value to me and a big downside - it might damage my jailbreak by way of an unexpected firmware update.
And
if you want to set up collections you can do that without wi-fi on a
jailbroken Kindle.
You'd rather the OP who expressed a specific interest in jailbreaking blithely connect to wi-fi which could summarily lose his ability to jailbreak?
Notwithstanding that the OP could do most things without wi-fi, my suggestion was simply that he turn off internet access
initially until he has a chance to assess his options.
The OP can connect to wi-fi if he wishes of course. But if he wants to jailbreak it would be best to at least block OTA updates for the moment via USB before turning airplane mode off again.
Live and let live. Just because you consider wi-fi essential does not necessarily mean that everyone does.
