Ooh, this may solve one of my old issues! I have a USB stick with its own built-in wifi router, and I keep a copy of my ebook library on it, but in the past I’ve been disappointed that the phone-home logic prevented me from turning on the stick, connecting to it with my Kobo reader, and browsing that library to download a book or two.
