    That’s weird and sounds like some kind of software problem. I can’t see how that would happen otherwise. I have a Voyage and don’t have wifi configured on it at all, just add books with calibre and it’s been fine for a decade.

      It’s not a software problem, the Oasis has free cellular service for life.

      If you turn your Wifi off on an Android phone for example - it still scans and uses the wifi to keep track of your location, for instance. It’s an anti-consumer pattern that companies are using. Airplane mode? – Sure, for YOU. But Amazon probably still allows cell service to connect every couple of hours for exactly this kind of thing.

        Free cellular for life, except Amazon has basically limited it down to nothing

        I loved my oasis, but the whispersync was, for all intents, busted, for the last few years.

        Finally moved to a boox go color, installed calibre, and couldn’t be happier
