So, I guess I'll go ahead and register it since I don't have any important reasons not to. I'll adopt @Mrs_Often philosophy and side load everything.

Again - thanks to all !

When I registered my Kobos, I used an email address created for that purpose. So far I haven't seen any evidence that the address has been shared with others. I do modify the Google Analytics addresses to point to 127.0.0.1 but that's a personal choice.

See this thread for details on doing this:

And, more importantly, the database on the device that logs pretty much your every action on it isn't being sent through Google Analytics to be scraped for anything that can profile you for marketing purposes, so not registering helps protect your privacy, a very important thing.
