Just curious, as I typically don't have any SSIDs learned.

Hi trence. I was camping last week with no Wi-Fi around, and realized the same limitation. In the previous version (original one you have) it is an unnecessary limitation I introduced by mistake. The plugin won't get to the later steps of enabling bluetooth if there's no network to connect to, but it's was a mistake.
It's now fixed on v0.3.0, where the system will not try to manage your Wifi anymore. It will ask you to turn on Wi-Fi by yourself (if it's not on already), and doesn't care if there's no SSID to connect to. You can enable WiFi by KOReader, have it not connect to anything, and still enable bluetooth.
As you pointed out, we just need the chip powered on, and there's no need for any network.
