Kindles do not need to be registered to use them, only if you want to use the native UI for managing collections (which is slower than using the two hacks available for manipulating the database directly).
Also, AFAIK the registration hack on a Kindle still works fine. (As always, pinging Amazon's servers resets it. There is a firewall hack for that.)

Well, perhaps it isn't bashing Kobo so much as saying the firmware does not allow for a hack that rashkae clearly feels is necessary for personal enjoyment of the Kobo.
There may be a problem here, if people cannot acknowledge that as a valid opinion.
However much I may
personally feel that going to such lengths to avoid registration on either a Kindle or a Kobo is silly, given how easy it is to create a throwaway email address.

As for Kindle, you HAVE to register in order to be able to use collections. This is no different than registering your Kobo.

Except for the part where you could just not use collections... for some odd reason, there are many people who don't seem to feel the need for them.
