Exactly. It doesn't explicitly state the behaviour as i noted. It is implicit. So much so that many users apparently did not initially make the correct inference, myself included. Hence, turning on the wifi should not really be considered an "explicit invocation" to automatically update as the person to whom I was responding suggested. At least, not until one has realized that is the behaviour which the device engages in when wifi has been enabled.

Nothing to disagree with there. I quite like both my Kobos and, now that I know how they behave, I am quite happy to never connect them to the internet via wifi. I use a different ereader when I want to connect to the internet.
