I don't sync with them after setting up my reader, either. On the Touch, though, if I want the dictionaries they don't download in the firmware install (for some reason), I have to bring them onto the reader directly from their servers. Knowing that, before I added my sideloaded books, I set up my shelves, then sync'd the dictionaries. While it does that, it sends the info back to Kobo that I set up my shelves with these names, etc. So when I have to do an update or set up a new reader, the shelve names get put in my collections.
