Amazon has a 8gb kindle refurb J9G29R on sale for $40. but I would like it to be a simple reader disconnected from big brother.
can this be done? Thanks in advance

You don't have to connect any e-ink Kindle to wifi at all--they will all work without being registered, no need to jailbreak. You will lose the ability to create and use collections, but you can still sideload books and read with no issue. All books will have to be in an Amazon format (or pdf), but you can easily convert using Calibre.
If you are set on reading your books in epub format, then yes...you will have to jailbreak. It looks like the "J9G29R" is a 10th gen basic Kindle, so whether or not you can jailbreak will depend on the firmware version. See
this thread for more information.
I hope this helps
