Kobo doesn't require you add a credit card, and I'm pretty sure you could put fake information for any personal fields they may happen to require.

I get why people may be adverse to registering, but why not just set up an email account for all your registering needs?
I have bought some books from Kobo, but I prefer to remove the DRM and side load them via Calibre. While I'm not averse to registering my device, if my device is registered these books appear twice, and/or I get irritating recommendations on the home screen. I can't remember. I do remember it was less messy when I was able to self-register.

I've made it forget my wireless network's password so that ought to stop the thing from trying to talk to the mothership...
