I'm going to buy a kindle paperback (I've never had one), and I'm sure I'm not going to buy any books for it. What mods/steps/other stuff do you guys suggest to set it up?

Correct, if you have the ad-supported version it will display ads if you let it check in again. So keeping it on airplane mode is an option to avoid that. Or you could just pay $20 to Amazon to remove the ads. I hear if you whine to customer support they might remove them for free, but haven't tried it.

You don’t have to whine -literally just get on a chat and ask them ‘please can you remove these ads’ - they’ve done it for two kindles for me no charge, no question.

I don't even know if I have the ad supported version, it's been that long. They kept pushing bestsellers onto my screen, but I don't know if those were ads or if that's considered a regular feature.

Yeah Thats the ad supported version - you dont get that once removed.

Good to know. It's removed itself then thanks to flight mode, so I'll just keep it as it is :)
