I have a Windows computer. I had actually forgotten about the "Safely Remove Hardware" option, so thanks for reminding me.

That's definitely not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for letting me know. It may be a silly question, but does that mean I shouldn't purchase books over WiFi? Will the Glo automatically start to sync (and therefore force the upgrade on me) if I buy books via WiFi?

We're all different, that's why it's good to have options. Just my luck that that loophole has been closed! One of the main reasons I chose a Kobo is because I didn't want to be locked in to the Kindle ecosystem. After this ordeal (and realising I'm going to have to delete those files every time I sync the device), I'm not sure Kobo is worth the hassle. I had a Kindle Paperwhite and using it was a piece of cake compared to the Kobo. I returned it because there were quality control issues that I got fed up with. I also wanted an E-reader that allowed me to borrow e-books from the library, etc., etc.

I want an E-reader that's easy and enjoyable to use so I can focus on what I bought it for: reading!
