I know not everyone who wants privacy is stealing eBooks. But you cannot have privacy with a Reader. It just isn't possible. So knowing it's not possible, I ask why because if it is for stealing, I'll not help. If it's for some other reason, I can explain the downsides to this. The only thing that can be done is keep WiFi off. Fake registering a Kobo can end up making things worse when the fake registration no longer works for the new firmware. And with a Kindle, you have to register in order to be able to create collections.

Anyone who thinks they can have a Reader and full privacy is just not thinking clearly and should go back to buying pBooks using cash.
