Nick: As tshering said, the driver in calibre does a version check. There is an option to ignore this. If you are on recent firmware and know that calibre supports it, changing this option is safe.

But, as I keep pointing out all this is immaterial if you don't sync to the Kobo servers. The ONLY time that the firmware version is checked and a new version is downloaded is during a sync. If you don't read books from the Kobo server, you don't need to sync and hence won't have an update forced on you.
