That is BS and YOU know it. The "Syncing and updates" page of the setting has an option to turn the "daily Automatic Sync" off. This has nothing to do with other syncing done. We have had this discussion before. The settings page is clear about what it does, especially when you actually pay attention to the behaviour of the device when you change the options.

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?
Probably because they have feedback that the menu was cluttered and confusing or something like that.
