*MY* Kindle has an on-off switch on the back of the device that allows me to disable the cellular antenna. Due to the regulations requiring that transmission facilities be disabled during flights, it is highly unlikely that the Kindle would have the ability to turn on the cell feature when the switch is in the off position. I have no DRMed content except that purchased from the Kindle store, but even if I did, I could make sure that none of it were on the Kindle when the radio is active. Of course, there may be an activity log of some kind which is sent to the big Kindle server in the sky ...
