I use Apple books on other devices, download purchased books on my PC, side-load via Calibre, don’t see ads, and hate Amazon upgrades making the device less user friendly.

I don’t understand why people think they know what others like or need better than the person him/herself.
Given your usage, I would think registering and keeping WiFi off would do. But if you don't like the firmware updates, why buy a Kindle when you can get better Readers such as Kobo or Pocketbook?
