Kindle (Basic)

Stick the Kindle in "Airplane mode", and just manually upload your books. Been doing it that way for years, as it also prevents Amazon removing purchased books form your device when they remove them from the store.

TL;DR: OP’s problems are user error It’s a very bad and misleading summary because OP is purposefully clicking on the home page, which they would never have to see otherwise.
