    I don’t really use it but I have a Kindle oasis. Do I have any options for stripping Amazon from the equation? I’m no stranger to soft mods and hacks.

      As long as you don’t need audiobooks on it, you can essentially erase your wifi credentials, turn off wifi, and manage your ebooks through USB and something like Calibre.

      The Kindle OS will continue to collect and store all sorts of telemetry, and will upload it later if you ever reconnect the device to the internet. Just something to consider.

      Normally, I would just suggest avoiding Kindles but, like me, you already have the device so might as well use it.
