The PW2 now just happily works totally in airplane mode, all books being downloaded to my pc then transfered via usb to the kindle.

As others have said, try giving Amazon a call, then sideload all your books.
I did that currently.
The flaws in Gen 1-2 was triggered by factory reset of a firmware update that Amazon published. This is not good. A firmware update should not cause these registration problems.
