I have a Kobo Aura One which I recently managed to mangle the books on the device (completely user error). So, when I finish my current book I am planning to wipe it and start over.

Going forward, I am only going to sideload books. Even ones purchased through Kobo I will load via Calibre. (This is so I can actually track the ratings I give books, along with state).

So, when I wipe it, I had two ideas on how to setup the Kobo again.
1. Do a factory reset, and find where to set the SideloadedMode flag.
2. Do a factory reset, create a dummy account with Kobo, and never use it. Let it sync to get updates as needed. In theory since everything is sideloaded, nothing ever gets sent to Kobo.

Thoughts?
