Just a heads up if you use mobile data.
What makes you think that? I've looked at this before, and have checked now. It is definitely not happening here. The only books downloaded from the Kobo servers to my devices are those I have purchased, or those I have a preview of. They do download two versions of the cover, but nothing else.

And if they did download a book to your device, it wouldn't be an Adobe DRM protected version. It would be a kepub.
