Not only that, but screen going blank & Firmware update WITHOUT asking to do it later, while in middle of annotating a 110K word book.
I have to switch off WiFi at once after looking up a word or phrase on Wikipedia or Google.

It's happened far too many times, though the FW update in the middle of reading was only once. That was alarming!

I read a lot as well as using the eReader for annotation/proofing. Sync serves no purpose anyway as I only have one Kobo device and on the occasion I do actually buy eBooks I buy from Smashwords or Amazon. I've never bought from any other seller of eBooks. I can get updates on FW via Calibre or links published here.

I buy more paper ones than eBooks and some have come with a free download of the eBook version.
