On my Kobo Sage in the Kobo eReader.conf file I have StylusUsageDetected=false in the [ApplicationPreferences] section. This keeps the "My Notebooks" icon from showing up at the bottom of the screen.

However ... StylusUsageDetected will be switched to true often if when connecting the USB-C power cable if I don't get it connected quickly and cleanly. It doesn't happen every time but it does happen often enough that I can get it to reproduce. Somewhere in the firmware when it detects something with teh USB-C port it thinks that a stylus has been connected. As has been pointed out you can get rid of the MyNotebooks by editing the Kobo eReader.conf file and resetting StylusUsageDetected back to false.

It's an annoying bug as as far as I know there is no way to do this other than by actually editing the Kobo eReader.conf file
