Even MS Roaming profiles can be disabled.
Kobo and their servers may know that you haven't purchased anything, borrowed a library book, etc. How does your device know that you haven't done so? Perhaps by synchronizing with Kobo's servers?

As for disabling MS roaming profiles? Have you ever actually looked at what gets synchronized between your Windows device and AD? Disabling roaming profiles may stop that 4GB video file on your desktop from following you around but given your worries about Kobo, you should look at what other information is still being swapped.
