No Kobo needs to be online, ever. I Get Firmware updates via download to PC.
Even the Kindle, I use Download to PC & Transfer via USB. Books or Firmware.
Keep your Kindle and put its serial number into a plugin in Calibre, then you can read your Amazon books on the Kobo. The only advantage really compared to a Paperwhite 3, is better export of Annotations. Calibre also.
Unlike Kindle you don't need to enter a real email account or your credit card. You can make up an imaginary email address at the start screen.
Neither the Kindle or Kobo needs any PC software other than Calibre (Mac, Windows or Linux).
