If you are looking for hassle free, update the firmware when you get it and then disable the Wi-Fi. Don't load the Kobo desktop software. Load books onto your Kobo with Calibre (or ADE or via the filesystem) instead. This will circumvent automatic updates, which Kobo sometimes botches.
As a new Kobo owner I'm curious how you get notified of Kobo software upgrades?

I don't use the Glo's wifi, and I have 2 Kobo Desktop accounts, one I use to purchase Kobo books, and the other is assigned to my Glo in order to receive updates only because I'll never purchase using that account.

So does Kobo email notify you of upgrades, or?

And can you upgrade via wifi or via desktop? And won't upgrading via either manner mean that it will auto sync all the kepubs sitting in that account.

Basic questions I know - but I'm new to a Kobo ereader.
