A thought just popped into my head....

Using the approach introduced by the fmon tool, it should be possible to prevent upgrades being installed to Kobo's. All that would be needed would be either a new customized version of fmon that watched for the creation / closing of the update files and then dropped them, or the use of the standard fmon with a script that gets invoked to drop the file.

Yes, updates would be still downloaded to the device, but, when the file(s) were closed, they would be deleted.

Thoughts?
