I don't need to "fake" registering it. Just know that once I do then I have to DL ADE to my PC & all that mess. At Least that's what happened when I registered the Litteriti.
IF I can Side load ebooks with out the ADE that's what I rather do.
I wont be able to buy ebooks from Kobo anyway. No Gift cards where I live
You don't need a Cr Card to use Kobo ereaders do you?
