I'm afraid you can't use an iPad either without registering it. What's so bad about registration?

You're not "forced" into anybody's ecosystem with an eInk device. There's a wonderful free program called "Calibre" (which has a dedicated forum here at MR) which makes it easy to convert books between different formats. Although I have a Kindle, I buy ebooks from many different bookstores; owning a Kindle doesn't restrict you to only buying books from Amazon, any more than owning a Kobo forces you to buy from Kobo, etc.
