You are being overly pedantic.

I don't know why you are defending Kobo's ludicrous use of sync without user selection, which can result in an automatic firmware update.

The fact that there are a choice of times for an automatic sync doesn't suggest that with this setting off that Automatic Sync (in the background) STILL happens, but at a random time. That's crazy if that is what Kobo really mean and the automatic background sync STILL occurring isn't a bug.

If what you claim is true and that by design the intention that background sync is NEVER disabled, except obviously by disabling wifi, then that is a totally wrong decision by Kobo. Actually WORSE than a bug.

Are ex Windows 10 programmers designing this stuff?
