OK I have done a factory reset, then overwritten the kobo with 2.5.1 firmware. That all went fine, except now the Kobo wants to set itself up again, and demands a link to either my computer or wireless.

I know that if I do either, it will just update to the latest version!

How on earth do I stop it doing that so I can keep 2.5.1?

(Can't believe how much grief this device is capable of causing, frankly. What is the problem with people being able to retain older firmwares?!)
