On my Pocketbook 632 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.8.2102) I noticed I would periodically receive a pop-up message asking me to:

Connect to Wi-Fi
Make the most of Your E-Reader!

It seems to appear every 14 days and even though it's just one-click to dismiss, it really bothers me there's no obvious way of preventing its reappearance.

As a workaround I've written a startup script (needs ezdiy root) to prevent its appearance. You could also add the code to a launcher for a frequently used userapp (e.g. koreader) if you can't/won't root. Reply if you have a better solution.

For info, it seems to be triggered by the value ask_connect_ts within:
/mnt/ext1/system/config/global.cfg

As soon as the unix timestamp value for ask_connect_ts drops 14 days behind the current date the message is triggered.
