When I purchase from the device's bookstore the new book starts downloading automatically, but the download can be canceled by tapping the book.

In older firmware the "Remove from ereader" function used to be named "Archive", but it works in exactly the same way.
Hmmm...I wonder why my Aura HD isn't working that way--I've attached a picture of what it looks like after I remove a Kobo book from the device.

Also, I've never bought a book from my Kobo, so I didn't know that about cancelling the download. I probably never will buy one directly from the device, but it's good to know for the future. Generally I buy from my computer (or tablet) in batches, and, with my Kindle, I would always just download the books to the device individually as I wanted to read them. With the Kobo, I tend to not do that because I would have to sync to get them on my device, and doing so gets all of the books at once rather than just the one I want. I've had my kobo since the beginning of March, and I've only synced it 3 times--one of those was yesterday, trying to see if I could get the file size to disappear from the list. (it didn't work).
