While doing that be quick and be careful so it doesn't complete downloading the OTA formate bin file ( = after registering connect to computer and delete the uplate partial file).
If you can I would suggest doing all those online activities while connected to phone's hotpot WiFi with the phone intentionally set to 2G only network (in order to have slowest possible intent connection so it takes longer to compete downloading ~300 MB? firmware installer).

It wouldn't be done on a phone but on a laptop or desktop so probably best for me not to take that route plus I don't want to sign up to Amazon even with a dummy account as it would mean also having to make a dummy email account too as I wouldn't want to use my actual email account with Amazon.
Thanks for the info though - looks like the Paperwhite may well be a paperweight!!
