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.
It was 20 dollars to Amazon the last time I got rid of ads from mine. The conversion rate (today) would make that more expensive if it is at about 20 pounds.
