2.Update Kobo manually using files from link provided earlier in this thread, refuse to register it(x2)
3.Factory reset the Kobo
4.Update Kobo manually again
5. Enjoy
After 3 I had put a few books on to make sure I could still use it and when I did 4 the files were not deleted and they work fine.
While writing this I figured I should check that I could add files now. I cannot. The software is on there for recognising the new books but it does not trigger, instead the please set up the kobo screen appears.
I figure someone will know how to trigger the software to do the update.
I purchased a piece of electronic equipment and I have no interest in providing my personal details. The "extra features" of registering are of no interest.
Any suggestions appreciated.
For now I guess I reflash each time I want to add books. I can only guess it will have no long term effects if done several times a week.

You could just register it under a dummy email account...
your call if thats what you want to do. I understand that you want to protect your information.... lots of people feel that way:P and nothing wrong.
good luck
