By that statement, I assume you have never read the manual. The only instructions for turning on WiFi are to do a sync.

Certainly, I'm glad that one of my tablets running Android 4.2.2 doesn't automatically update itself.
The lack of choice for updating Kobo devices is a problem. You will generally get a now-or-later prompt, but, that is just delaying until the next time you connect to a PC. There should at least be a "Remind me later" option before the download.

But, I also understand Kobo's desire not to support a lot of firmware versions. Both for support and supporting API versions in the servers. Actively encouraging taking updates makes sense to them or any developer.
