If you only read sideloaded books then there is no need to even turn off WiFi. Amazon, regardless of how paranoid you are, could care less about tracking your sideloaded books.

There is no kill switch for Whispernet on any Kindle that I'm aware of. I hope they never put one on it too as Whispernet is the best feature offered by Kindles.
