I'm pretty sure that it is China that is doing the blocking. The problem has been discussed plenty of times before. And, with the recent firmware, WiFi should work. The device does attempt to contact a URL on the Kobo domain. If it cannot to do this, it prompts with a message about whether to continue connecting or not. One reply stops the connection, the other lets the device connect to your WiFi. Any access to the internet is up to what is available to you at the time.

You can also add the following lines to the config file to connect without this promp.

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal
If the first line is already there, add the second line in the block after it.

Ooh, this may solve one of my old issues! I have a USB stick with its own built-in wifi router, and I keep a copy of my ebook library on it, but in the past I’ve been disappointed that the phone-home logic prevented me from turning on the stick, connecting to it with my Kobo reader, and browsing that library to download a book or two.

So, I wound up trying out using kepubs on my Kobo this week, and while it seems to work okay, my two main complaints are that the Kobo renderer doesn't respect "page-break-before: always", which is unfortunate because a lot of the technical RPG ePubs I've made rely on it, and that it tends to randomly put extra space after an emdash, which makes it hard to error-check to see whether I put an extra space in the file where one shouldn't be.

EDIT: Apparently that second thing is already listed as a bug. I guess maybe the first thing is probably closer to a bug than a feature request?

A more customisable, better filter in “My Books”. Basically let the Kobo owner choose what they want to filter.

For example;
Be able to select “Reading” and “Unread”.
Be able to select “Unread” but not include “Previews”.

I know this has been mentioned before, but I want to repeat it just in-case Kobo is watching…

An alarm feature (which you set) that’s let you know how long you have been reading a book. A flashing screen or pop-up dialogue etc.

We can get stuck in a book for hours and forget that we have to get up in the morning for work…. A clock on the screen is not the same as this would get ignored in a good book.
