I don't believe in rewarding bad behaviour. Why would they require me to have to go online even once in order to use a product I paid for? There are other offerings that don't require me to use wifi or **register**, which should be a dirty word for anyone. There is surely no technical reason so why? Why do they care? I don't know or care, I just know how to protect my privacy and there's no reason at all for me to knowingly sacrifice it.

My Onyx works just fine without registration or wifi and so do my Sony ereaders. They'll get my money, not Kobo.
