That sounds like the recommendations not the previews. Selecting "Not interested" will tell Kobo you aren't interested in that book. It isn't immediately removed from the list, but will not be there when you next open the recommendations. "Clear" is in case you change you mind before closing the list.

I found the whole recommended mess in the file on the computer for the online reader. All recommended have been deleted. The category "recommended" is now gone from the Glo itself.

I'm not sure what you mean unless you are syncing via the desktop application. In that case, if you marked all the recommendations as "Not interested", then the recommendations tile might be removed on the device. But, another sync will bring it back.

Kobo is now stating that it takes control of your SD card, not you.
|
What do you mean by this? The first time you insert the SD card, there will be a message about the device using the card if it gets full. It's been ages since I did that, so I don't remember the wording. Nothing has changed about how this works. You can take it out an use it in another device with no problems. Or sideload directly to it when it is in the device.
Are you seeing something different to this? If so, can you start a new thread to discuss it.

It also took a couple of tries to turn off the wifi. Sync is not enabled.
|
That is definitely not my experience. Tap the off and WiFi is off.

Wifi and sync are always off, so all this mess just happened yesterday when I did buy a book.
|
Exactly what is "this mess"? Other than what is happening with the new "My Library", nothing has changed. There is no new firmware or desktop application, so nothing has changed at that end.

It did leave most of my books. I had a lot of the old freebies from Gutenberg and Smashwords. Also a few from Baen and Amazon. I also have quite a few technical PDFs and books.
Have to back everything up to Calibre, and now find an e-reader that does it my way.

Well, it's very unlikely that you will ever find a device that does it your way. But, I think your complaints are about how the sync to the Kobo server works. If that is the case, that is definitely in Kobo's hands. If you don't like it, then stop doing it. Download the books and sideload them.
