I use my spare reader at least once a year to avoid this problem.
The only reader that I know of that would prevent you from any use without registration is old Kobo reader (for example Kobo Mini). I am not sure about Nook Simple Touch. I think I had to register that one as well before use.
I am talking about "out of the box" or "freshly reset to a factory defaults" device.

Actually, I don't believe you can use any Kobo device without registering. There is, of course, a hack to make the device think that it is registered, but it involves editing the database on the device. If you're not comfortable doing that, I would look at other devices. There are many others that don't require registration...why go with one that does?
