I have also owned three generations of Kindle! Like you, I've never taken any of them online.
Never supply a wifi connection during setup, and instead immediately engage airplane mode. USB transfer is easy with something like Calibre, which also handily converts ePub to Mobi for Kindle use.
It used to be that you could buy Kindle books and download them to your computer for transfer to the Kindle via USB, but they seem to have made that more difficult in the last year or two. Other sources still work fine, though.
- ghkklj 6y agoI tried to do this with a recent paperwhite but some features seemed to require registration - the main one I cared about being "collections". Had to make a fresh amazon account, register it, then put it into aeroplane mode never to be reconnected.
- pwinnski 6y agoHmm, maybe that's why collections doesn't work for me. I might enable wifi for a bit if that will help.
