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.
Thanks for the tip. If 2.0.0c proves too much, I'll take this approach.

I was hoping to simply delete the V2 update files from the KT before it was allowed to next reboot, but I found that, before the Kobo Desktop app "finished" the update download (as indicated by the progress bar), the KT had actually been dismounted as a R/W drive on my desktop host computer (!) and I couldn't get in there to delete the darn update files.

I'm living with 2.0.0c happily as long as I don't switch books too often.

Yes, the sluggish page-turning is noticeable. I still don't think it's a deal-breaker, but it is definitely (regrettably) noticeable. However, I find that the font-weight manipulations available in 2.0.0 are a great plus and if all that recalculating is why it takes so long now to draw a page, so be it.

Perhaps in the future, though, they could cache a page ahead in the background? That would be awesome.
