In order to keep it on 43.0, I turned the wifi off, turned the daily sync off, and turned off "check for Kobo firmware updates daily" in the Kobo Utilities plugin in Calibre. Despite all of this, my wifi turned itself back on at some point, and I'm back on 43.1

Please let me know how to keep this reader permanently on 43.0 (or at least until I hear good things about 43.2, whenever that releases). I'm willing to install hacks if necessary. Another factory reset is fine as well, I sideload everything through Calibre.
Install 4.30 manually. You can get 4.30 from https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Once you've installed it, go the the Kobo Developers forum and find the patches thread for 4.30. Then read that and read this
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...78#post4204678 to read about which patch you need to apply to stop newer firmware from downloading and being installed when you sync or use Pocket.
