So, I have two Kindles.
One older without background illumination but jailbeakable. And paperwhite 4 with ads I got during Black Friday week.

The Paperwhite is not jailbreakable - currently. I did not OTA it, I did not register it. I skipped Wifi and registration and put it into flight mode. I solely use Calibre to copy books as they are getting converted. By that I have no collections and I have seen no ads so far.

What should I do to get more out of it?
Should I just leave it like that and use Calibre to copy everything? Or can or should I do something more to gain some functionality? Collections perhaps? But I read Calibre could only do collections on a jailbroken Kindle.

So what am I missing?
Calibre Collections. Book Covers - are useless because of the case which wakes the device on opening. Anything else?

BTW: How should an ad look like? I have not seen one, is it because the Kindle was not on Wifi yet?
