If you look up internet from search while reading, Wifi is then turned on. You can't turn it off.
Then when you go the Home screen, it syncs, EVEN THOUGH you unticked automatic sync in setup. You get an update download if you didn't want one. Without knowing! (a) You can forget the WiFi is now on, or (b) it's slow and fiddly to turn off.
Then later the screen goes blank in the middle of reading as it updates.
The workaround is to ONLY open a book from the collections screen, not Home, then when you leave book (and you CAN'T go direct to Home because the GUI is brain dead) you are back at collections. It never syncs there, so you can turn off the WiFi.
WHY no Main Menu icon and WiFi icon when you bring up menu bar in reading?
Since I got my 1st Kobo, the H2O original, they have fixed bugs and improved highlighting. But the GUI is just getting poorer.
I do appreciate my Kobo Libra, but really on GUI so many companies seem to have lost the plot, not just Kobo.
