Perhaps they're doing a CYA because some suit-happy person might claim that the Kobo bookstore and device recommendations constitute a 'with offers'/advertising situation.

(Frankly, I don't think you have to be suit-happy to use their devices or website or Desktop for a while and decide that you are using a de facto 'with offers' system - it's just that it's for books, not toothpaste and condoms.)

Just my $0.02
It goes beyond CYA when it specifically mentions ads on the Sleep and PowerOff screens.
