Remember, we are not discussing grammar but UX design.

Regardless of what the actual sentence is, if a good percentage of your users is confused, then the UX is wrong. The mere fact that this thread exists is the proof that this particular UX is bad.

So Kobo should either fix the screen to make clear what will happen or should fix the software to do what people expect. I*don't find unreasonable to expect an option disabling all automatic syncing but that may be my opinion and, when designing an UX, those expectations have to be validated against facts.

PS: having professional experience in the UX field, I*can say that Kobo UX range from utterly horrible to bad. They really lack some good UX*designers. The only reason while I'm sticking with Kobo is that all the other ereaders I've tested are at least as bad. It seems that no good UX*designer want to work with eink devices.
