Again, I don't know why people think a discussion of Kobo readers is appropriate for a thread on Amazon discontinuing older kindles... So let's get back on topic:

This is a random tip, but it might help someone. I have a PW1 and I factory reset it. I then never connected to wi-fi since I can't register to Amazon. I sideloaded books. But the "Most Recent" ordering wasn't working at all. I checked that the time was set correctly (pleasantly pleased you can set the time on these while unregistered, unlike K3). I finally thought of connecting to wi-fi, and that fixed it. I didn't DO anything on wi-fi, just connecting made the sort order work. Maybe it has something to do with a year setting on the kindle... Anyway, now sort order works (even after disconnecting from wi-fi).
