You can avoid this by not registering, never synchronizing with the kobo server, and editing the host file.

Looking through the directory structure to find a book is a little cumbersome without connecting to the reader from outside. Besides this, concerning the average usage of the reader you don't gain much (or anything at all) my knowing the location of a book. Main advantage of the shelfs over a folder based system is that you can categorize (and find) the book by multiple criteria.
Concerning connecting to a server, you could search the Kobo Developer's Corner.
