EULAs are related to services, not to hardware and you normally buy the hardware without signing a contract. So you're into the right to use the hardware as you want. Open it, break it, change the software, avoid registering, etc).
Some people are worried about their data, others just simply don't want the service at all and avoid any kind of communication with mothership.

Too many people it seems are paranoid about things that don't matter. Does it really matter if Amazon or Kobo knows you read a book?
I bought a Kobo Aura H2O and I am using it as I want. I have never been able to not use it how I want. And, I registered it with Kobo because I'm not paranoid.
There is no way to keep yourself 100% private. It's impossible. So why try to do so where it doesn't matter?
