The "sync and update" setting in KOBO's OS has a way of turning itself on...

But it was un-checked (I made sure),
when I turned on the Kobo wifi in order to use the beta-web browser to see if I could copy from mine&partner's refugee poetry project
site onto KoReader's note app.
And instantly KOBO OS began updating - from 4.20's (to 4.33). I cut the house's internet connection, but I was still too late. And following that it was baby clean (with books, however) and refused to accept a koReader update, but instead started over with choice of language, while demanding Kobo desktop on the Mac be opened. Which then wanted an update - so, very narrow path I did not know where would lead: koReader install prevention or what?
But after 2 koReader install attempts all was back. And now koReader starts almost instantly! The joy!

BTW: The text to QR-code function in koReader is AMAZING!
And DID you know that QR-codes can store up to 4296 characters, including punctuation marks and special characters (or 7089 digits)!? That means there is room for full poems in that single symbol!!
The opportunities!
