Not true for the registration itself, because it's simply being skipped when entering fake values. Keeping WIFI disabled would be a way to never have the Kobo "phone home", yes. It's entirely possible and feasible to use a Kobo reader without ever having it go online.
JSWolf: well, Amazon is Amazon, and Kobo is Kobo. Just because Amazon is forcing users into their ecosystem doesn't mean that's a good thing. If you can't see the problem in manufacturers profiling their users via the internet then that's fine for you, other people see it differently.
