The way I understand it, by setting the carousel to the shortlist you actually do not get the recommendations displayed anymore, which is almost as good as disabling them on the device. I could not actually check whether they also stop updating as well (meaning they really are disabled) since my device never displayed them!

However, according to what Taming posted, if you go to the dektop application you can remove all recommendations by individually marking them as "not interested" or "already own" which once the panel is empty will insure the recommended option is not available at all on the device. That is, probably until Kobo finds something worth recommending to you (which may take some time if I look at my account). Still not as good as opting out altogether, but yet another step closer to it.
