You've just described 99% of the content on goodereader.

On pre-11th gen kindles downloading ~250megs would take quite some time - this new model seems much quicker at everything. I notice it has a power saving mode; if I use that but leave wifi on do I get the best of both worlds; automatic updates/syncing etc but sensibly handled (ie check for 1 second every 24 hours or so then turn wifi back off?)
Whereas my poor Kindle PW4 seems to be targeted for OTA updates almost as soon as they are available. Makes me feel thankful that it's not my goto ereader.
