I didn't want to go to 2.0.0, so I installed 1.9.17 firmware and rebooted, but could not, despite all the very helpful messages and hints here, get through the Kobo Desktop drama (I truly hate that software) without 2.0.0c (r41166, 7/12/12) finally ending up on my KT and taking it over...

Best way to avoid updating to 2.0 (if a windows user) when you don't want to but have to register a previous firmware. Run the Kobo Desktop App. Register the Kobo and once it starts to download the "upgrade" press the keys
alt+ctrl+del --> select
Task Manager --> select the
Processes tab --> find and select
Kobo.exe --> press the button
End Process. The Kobo will be registered but the Desktop App will not have had enough time to download the update and without the update downloaded to your Kobo your Kobo won't update. Of course you will not be able to use the Desktop App to load your books without it trying to update your Kobo but if you sideload then that isn't an issue.
