Happy birthday! Leave the case on - protects the tech & makes it easier to spot. (Mine in hi-viz lime green after more tasteful colours got lost repeatedly.) Remember it is a very smart memory stick with a screen, so do back it up - sure, Amazon will have copies, but why wait for Bezos' systems to cooperate when, with a little pragmatic ruthlessness, you can carry on reading on another device at will?

If you sign up for Kindle unlimited for a month or even better get one of the free trial periods (up to 3 months) as it comes to an end load up with as many books as possible then just turn off the WiFi and you will keep the books until you next go back on line. Obviously this does not work on phone / ipad as they are constantly connected.
You can get quite a lot of box collections that have several book in but only count as one download so for the price of one month you could easily get 6 months or more reading.

I love my paper white. Not sure what tips I can give other than, enjoy! I tend to stock up on 99p offers so always have something to read. You can tell it not to show the books you have already read in the library.
