I'm pretty privacy minded, but part of the reason for buying a Kobo was access to the book store. By design, that sort of requires an account.

I'm quite privacy minded, but for me this had nothing to do with privacy. I reformat every book I buy to make it easier for me to read, so I sideload everything. My Kobo was unregistered just so I didn't have to deal with the hoops involved in keeping my purchases from showing up twice (the purchased version and sideloaded version). I recognize that I'm not the typical user in this regard, at least not outside of these forums, and this isn't a big deal to many people who'd prefer the Amazon-like experience. That being said, it falls under the category of minor annoyance to me, not something to actually make me angry at Kobo. Life is short; I can shrug over this and deal with it.
