Step 1: Buy a Kindle on Amazon...

You gotta be kidding me

Well what were you expecting? This is like when people install GrapheneOS on Pixels, because it's still the best platform to have a Google-free device.

It's entirely possible that someone wants to buy a Kindle because of it being a great device, but not want to be tied to Amazon's data mining exercises and/or buy books from them because of their behaviour as a publishing company.

Same. Have mine about 18 months. Never once connected to the internet. Great device.
