Shouldn't the title be "'Irritated with Calibre"or something?

Is Calibre even officially supported by Kobo?
To be fair most apps are and devices ask before installing updates. Well I suppose one could make an argument for Windows since it does occasionally ignore what the user tells it. But for the most part we control when an update gets installed.

However you’re quite right about Calibre not being officially supported by Kobo it’s more Kobo doesn’t get in Calibres way. How intentional this is is up to speculation but as BN and Amazon limit user control more than Kobo I’m guessing they’re intentionally leaving it open.

However even then the developers who work on Calibre and its plugins don’t know when Kobo is going to release updates and it would be irresponsible of them to allow firmware beyond the current one to be used without at least warning the user.
