To me that's an unacceptable cost. That's why it wants the WiFi.

Exactly what value is it?
Once you register a Kobo, you do not ever have to turn on WiFi. You can have your stats without WiFi being on. I've had my H2o for just over 5 years and the WiFi has been on only once. That one time was to register.
