But, paranoide mode on/ whats next to build in, force a device to go online to receive updates ??
I updated my routers settings with the mac numbers of both devices so that they are not enabled to "call home"..[/QUOTE]

I fail to see what all the problem is here. Since a Kobo has no GPS etc, the worst it can phone home is reading habits.

Kobo and Kindle are businesses so to stay afloat they are going to monetise their readers a little. Compared to Amazon, Kobo are saints in comparison.

Lets not make mountains out of molehills..
