I use calibre to transfer books from SD card in reader to computer fill but can also copy then past all books from SD card to a computer file.

Hmm ... I have kobo of my own.
If i put sideloaded epubs on a microsd and use them in MY ebook reader to check them, then eject the card and put it in his -- will it work or does it use some DRM / account things on the microsd when it populates the kobo?
I might just leave it unactivated, run him through setup and tell him to put the microSD in that I will include -- problem is that runs into the problem of him getting another unstable turd firmware like 2.0 or having the kobo hate the SD card and freeze outright every other page
maybe the best bet will be just to register a throwaway email after all -- it shouldn't be that convoluted but if they really want it registered, fine.
