The problem is not Kobo. The problem is the charger. The charger is the one telling the device that it is to be treated as a computer.

Now my 80-year-old grandma's gonna be super confused every time she plugs her Kobo in for charging. She'll forget to press the Cancel button when the Connect dialogue appears and will inevitably complain about it to me. :/ Seriously Kobo... this is a stupid issue that should never happen.
She doesn't need to do anything. If she doesn't tap a button, the device will just sit there charging. If she does tap the connect button, it shouldn't harm. While the device will go to a connected mode, the charger won't try and do anything, so unplugging it will be OK.
