So sad that Amazon is (obviously) ignoring this issue. I had over 300 bookmarks and notes saved. Good thing I have a good practice of backing up things and I had exported all my kindle notes to my computer. Now I just have to backup the entire kindle device and never take the damn thing off Airplane mode again.

That's why the solution is to keep WiFi off and side-load via calibre.
