I've never connected my Kindle 4 to my Wi-Fi, so it isn't registered, and I do all my book downloading using the Kindle app on my laptop, side-loading the books and creating collections using Calibre. Can I now do this with my Paperwhite?
3. Would the KoReader software be a better way to go?

1. From what I understand, a factory reset is not enough to completely disable the jailbreak; it is required to update the kindle to a later version.
2. I’m not sure how the DRM works with books downloaded from the kindle app on the PC. I think the DRM is different on the newer kindles than the older ones; I would assume that in order to sideload your Amazon-purchased books on your PW4, you might need to also be registered with the same account on the kindle (or use the DeDRM plugin on Calibre).
3. It depends on what you want to do, but if your use case is basically to stay offline and sideload books bought from Amazon, the native reader would be fine. It’s a matter of preference really, many of the features which required a jailbreak in the past (custom fonts, book cover as screen saver, night mode) are now natively supported.
