One benefit to airplane mode is that your battery charge lasts longer. I use Calibre to host my library and allow several of my friends access over the internet. They turn on wi-fi to access and turn off when finished.
An aside, on a similar topic. I just bought an Oasis from Amazon through Amazon Resell for $140. It was listed as “a minor cosmetic imperfection” and “ad-supported”. When it came, it was prestine with no scratches AND the ads were turned off. A surprise upgrade!

BTW, as many have noted, although expensive, both when new and now when used, the Oasis was THE best Kindle that Amazon ever made. Certainly better than the plastic POS they are producing now. The screen, much better. The ergonomics couldn’t be better. The buttons, perfect. Why do you think people are willing to pay well over $200 for a six-year old device on eBay?
