FYI I just got a new Kobo Aura and used this procedure to bypass registration.

I plugged it into my Linux system and mounted the vfat filesystem like so:

sudo mount -L KOBOeReader -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000 /mnt/kobo/
sudo umount /mnt/kobo/



Then edited the sqlite DB:

sqlite3 /mnt/kobo/.kobo/KoboReader.sqlite

delete from user;
insert into user values ('','','','','','','','','','','','','','','','',' ','');
.quit


Result:

sqlite> select * from user;
UserID =
UserKey =
UserDisplayName =
UserEmail =
___DeviceID =
FacebookAuthToken =
HasMadePurchase =
IsOneStoreAccount =
IsChildAccount =
RefreshToken =
AuthToken =
AuthType =
Loyalty =
IsLibraryMigrated =
SyncContinuationToken =
Subscription =
LibrarySyncType =
LibrarySyncTime =


Then umount the filesystem and unplug the USB. Reboot if needed.

My current/original software version = 4.0.7523 (9/2/16)
