Hello, 1st post here

I bought my first Kindle: a second hand, 4th generation NT Grey Silver model.

I have no intention to resgister it with amazon and haven't tried to connect it to the internet yet.

Firmware is: 4.0_130, the first release I guess, I don't even have the page refresh options.

Satisfied with the device as it is, however i've read that one of the upgrade around 4.1 is improving the contrast for the letters.

Is that true and a real improvement?

Is there any other good reason to update?

Are there reason for NOT doing the update and is there one firmware that could force me to register the device?

Thanks for help. New in this world but computer litterate. Haven't found a lot of info on this device in my research.
