I have to share my phones data connection to get my PW4 connected so just don't do it. Have always manually downloaded kindle updates and use Calibre to manage books.

All the screenshot are of kindles that i presume stay connected.

So i take it i won't have any changes so unsure if it is worth updating my PW.
It seems the updated UI requires connecting to wifi. At least that's how it first behaved.

A lot of us installed the new firmware by downloading it from Amazon's website, but we didn't get the new UI. It took my Kindle a month to finally get the new UI after sideloading the update.

Based on how you use your Kindle, the only thing will change is you'll be getting extra recent books on your homepage. You have to decide if that's worth connecting to wifi to. But if it ain't broke don't fix it, right?
