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.
You get notified during a sync. For a WiFi sync, the devices detects the update and downloads it. Then it prompts you to restart. For a desktop sync, the desktop detects and download the update and copies it to the device.

I don't believe that Kobo email notifications about the firmware. In any case, I've never seen one.
