There may be a "button" for "later", "not now", "skip" or some such. It may not be clear that it is a button.

Maybe tapping outside the dialog box will work.

You might then get an intro to kindle or some such, or your (empty?) library page may come up. Then you do settings -> settings -> device info

You are probably much better off doing kindlebreak instead of watch-this if your firmware version is or can be put in the correct range.

There is a KUAL extension to rename (and name back) the OTA binaries.

Not part of the process because having renamed binaries might interfere with manual updates.
Did a quick check and as you note kindlebreak does look easier to use if it is possible. Will have to check firmware version before proceeding further.

One of the main reasons I like to jailbreak is for cover mode screen saver. As that is now in firmware as of 5.14.2 that would save some work and provide vendor support. Of course this will require me to install KUAL and the extension to block OTA updates so that updates will be under user control. Beyond that I will have to consider what other hacks I should add for a gift.

Thank you for your assistance.
