The card is checked once, it needs a long time (more than one hour on my Kobo with some very large ebooks like the complete works of Maupassant, Zola, Balzac, each in one volume), but it is done only once.
You told you are not forced to join Facebook. I agree. But you are strongly encouraged to do this. And to accept those ridiculous rewards that treat you like a kindergarten kid.
Books should make people free. Not gregarize them.
The last user values in the database (at least if you have to enter seven values when you activate with sqlite3) are:
"FaceBookAuthToken" and "HasMadePurchase".
Does it mean that Facebook is not important in their mind? isn't it symbolic? It can be read like "Infantilize customers in order to make more money".
