If you turn off wifi now, so they can't mess with the software, resetting in the future will work the same as resetting now. How could that be changed if they don't send updated software to the kindles?

Some people are showing photos of their K4 prompting them to register as soon as they reset, but I tell them that you can back out of that screen and go to the home screen and never register.

My question here is, is there any chance I'm wrong? Is there any chance that if you turn off wifi now and forever, that behavior after resetting will be different in a few months than it is now? If you believe it could, HOW, if the software/firmware isn't changed?

I just don’t know. This is what the email says


* You can continue to read books already downloaded on these devices, but you will not be able to purchase, borrow, or download additional books on them after that date.
* If you deregister or factory reset these devices, you will not be able to re-register or use these devices in any way.


So no idea.
