Since the new changes to Kindle Unlimited, you have to download the books and then transfer them to the PC. I do not like my Kindle going online (one reason, Amazon is known to remove books without your consent - including KU books that you've "returned"). That being the case, I bought a second Kindle Paperwhite 7th Generation that has a current firmware of 5.13.7 (3763000075). I transferred the books from my old Kindle to the new one by copying the Documents folder over, but apparently you cannot create or use Categories without first registering the Kindle, which of course defeats my whole purpose of keeping this one permanently offline.

tl;rd: is there any way that I can use categories without registering the Kindle or putting it online?

Thanks.
