I don't understand that sentence. Did you skip a word? You have to "what" the settings? No, you can use a Kindle that has never connected to Whispernet. There are place in the US where the service doesn't cover.

Yes, you can also update the kindle firmware without whispernet. They put the firmware binaries on their web site. You d/l it and copy it to the device via USB and then can run the upgrade from the Kindle menu.
