There are analytics settings on the Kobo stuff on Calibre. Obviously that involves communication to the "mothership".
Is there a list of domains the Kobo uses? I don't want a random Firmware update when I'm in the middle of reading or proofing. That happened once.
The settings then on the Kobo are misleading.
Syncing and updates
Automatic sync: [ ] On
Sync time Night V (greyed out)

By any reasonable definition if Automatic <something> is off, then it's purely manual. That assumption is re-enforced by the fact that Sync has an icon between Battery and Search on the top tool bar.

Obviously my experience suggests your explanation is true. However it's misleading of Kobo. Are they trying to compete with MS, Google and Amazon for misleading users?
