Hi All,

I have been fortunate to find a never-used Kindle 7th Generation (Basic, I assume) in a sealed new box offered on ebay. I have a recollection that when you turn on a Kindle for the first time, it asks you to connect to the internet and register your Kindle. I absolutely want to avoid ever connecting the Kindle to the internet in order to avoid updates. Will it be possible to bypass the connect-to-the-internet prompt (again, if I am remembering correctly) and use the Kindle without ever connecting it to the internet?

Thanks in advance for your help!
