There is a very simple solution. Do not turn on WiFi.

There's another partial solution should you want or need to turn on WiFi. Use calibre with the Reading List plugin. You create a Y/N column. Then the Reading list plugin will allow you to populate the column based on the books on your Kindle. So if you ever have books removed, you'll know what was on the Kindle and can easily put them back. I have this very same setup for my Libra 2. The column gets a Y if the book is on the Reader and emptied when the book has been removed. Simple really.
