In that case, sounds like not having collections support is fine.
For what it's worth, I use the PW4 w/SO unregistered. Ads are tied to registration so I'm actually not receiving ads on that one.
On my ad-supported PW2, I only get the ads on screensaver and home screen. I don't get ads while reading.
You don't have to register and you can skip wifi setup entirely on the Kindle if you want. As mentioned, you lose some features like cloud collections and sync. Otherwise, it reads books just fine and you can easily transfer books via USB.
As far as I can tell, out of the box, there are 19 dictionaries for 10/11 languages pre-installed on the Kindle (de, en, en-GB, es, fr, it, ja, nl, pt, ru, zh-Hans). Most of them get deleted during initial setup when you select the locale/language.
If one selects English, the following dictionaries are kept:
Oxford Dictionary of English
The New Oxford American Dictionary
TL;DR
For your aforementioned usage, the PW4 sounds fine.
