But nothing seems to stop the damn overwriting of the custom dictionaries.

I hope we can get a solution to this. I had custom dictionaries installed on my Aura and Aura HD only to find the next day that they had changed back to kobo! Is the only solution to turn off wifi and never sync? I read on both readers so I need syncing.
