Unless you don't want your personal information shared with Kobo (and why wouldn't you as you've already given it to Sony) then I don't see any reason to opt out. There's really no downside. If you have a hard drive crash and lose all your books then you'll still be able to re-download from Kobo. I have a feeling that most Sony owners probably get more of their purchased Epubs from Kobo rather than Sony anyways due to Sony's ridiculous store prices and Kobo's ubiquitous discount coupons. Besides, if you're a dyed in the wool epub person then when your Sony Reader eventually dies you'll probably be making a switch to a Kobo reader anyways so it would be nice to have all your purchases automatically sync with Kobo's cloud.
