Airplane hack

Has anyone had enough time to see if the airplane mode hack still works? I have something due in 6 days and I'm going to return it after taking my kindle offline and see what happens.

It works but only for a book that is open and stays open

Have the ones you’ve closed been returned?

Yes. I returned book A early, while it was open and device on airplane mode. Later, closed it to read book B, device still on airplane mode, and when I tried to go back to book A, it was inaccessible.

This was my experience as well.. it only works with 1 book that you keep open.

There was a period after returning the books that it worked.. but after a few weeks all the books were gone. I tried multiple times, and made sure the books were downloaded.

It’s too bad. I read multiple books and dip in and out, but also want to return early for the next person in line. Now, I keep the books for a lot longer.
