But none of that applies to either Kobo or Amazon, they both will gladly accept whatever you put in and carry on. (I'm particularly fond of something_very_rude@amazon.com or kobo.com, respectively.) |
We must have different ideas about what a fake email address is.

It did not even cross my mind that anyone
might be referring to a
nonexistent email address.
For precisely that reason -- that registration systems
always send a verification email.
I find it mind-boggling that Kobo doesn't do that...
