You don't have to have ads on your kindle. Did you buy the cheaper option "with ads"? If so, you can get these removed by paying - I think it's about £20 - to Amazon.

My PW has only been off aeroplane mode once, a few years after I bought it, when I registered it to get Collections and to update the firmware for custom fonts. I did this at a friend's house - I don't have wifi.

But I do appreciate the Collections ability and playing with different fonts. I use Calibre to convert everything to azw3 which enables use of custom fonts.

Why not register it and remove the ads? Then keep it off wifi to avoid unwanted updates? You'll have Collections.
