It also means that some of the key functions in the 2.5 update (creating collections) is unavailable.

After browsing the forum here, I'm aware that some users have been able to hack into the operating system and register without Whispernet. It sounds very technical and frankly beyond my level expertise. So I'd be really grateful if someone could give a step-by-step guide on how to go about this.

The following thread deals with this somewhat:

But I have no idea what to make of it.

Actually what you need is a telnet connection to Kind DX and then make a reginfo file. But creating telnet connection requires an installation of "usbnetwork" hack package on Kindle DX, and I am not sure whether it is working the newest 2.5, because it isn't working on mine US Kindle DX anymore when I upgrade.

here is a link about "usbnetwork"
