Yes, you will need to turn the wireless on to allow it to sync. Here is what the User Guide says about it:
Reading Across Multiple Kindles
If you read the same Kindle Store book across multiple Kindles, you’ll find Whispersync makes
it easy for you to switch back and forth. Whispersync synchronizes the bookmarks and furthest
page read among devices registered to the same account.
Whispersync is on by default to ensure a seamless reading experience for a book read across
multiple Kindle devices. If you would like to turn Whispersync off, follow these steps:
1. Go to
http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle
2. At the bottom of the page, look for “Manage synchronization between devices. Learn
more.” Select “Learn more.”
3. Select “Turn Synchronization off.”
Once you turn synchronization off, your books will still open to the last page read on that device,
but Whispersync will no longer sync bookmarks or the furthest page read with other devices. If
you would like to sync the book manually, press the Menu button and select “Sync to Furthest
Page Read.”
