I don't want Amazon tracking all my books. My Kindle is on airplane mode always and updates are done manually.
Then why did you buy/acquire a kindle knowing that they do this?
It could definitely have been acquired before they understood/cared about that.
Kindles are great devices and they're subsidised, so they're cheap. It's perfectly possible to use them on e.g. permanent airplane mode. You don't even have to buy books from Amazon, if you use Calibre.
That said I'll be going Kobo next time because I love buttons.

But what's the point? You would want me to feel shame, embarrass me, because I made a mistake?
No; trying to understand the logic.
Sell it and buy what you want that does what you want.
