Literally the first thing that would happen upon (even faking) the registration is an import of the books on the device.

I have Often tried to DL ebooks that Dont show up for Weeks Later. As I can Only DL when I near Wifi. At different points I was doing just that when my electric would go down or my cable. Several of those times it was Weeks before they get to my device. To try to redownload them was impossible.
I saying that the OP got a Used Device that was Not taken back to Factory & when it was turned on & close to a Wifi it Then DL the ebooks.
Literally none of what you state has any relevancy to the issues in this thread, or my statement that any book already on a Kobo will be processed as soon as it's registered.

Sideloaded books are not affected by logging out of a device, and would thus still be on the Kobo when it was re-registered either by a legitimate account (new or old) or by a hacked method to get past the registration screen.

Purchased books are tied to a specific account and are affected even by a simple log out. You would have to re-download them. As GadgetGuy used a hacked method to get past the registration screen this is not what could have occurred since as far as the Kobo servers are concerned the device is still not registered.

Your examples, books not downloading because of a lack of wifi and/or power would thus be negated because the books are 1) tied to your ACCOUNT not the device, and 2) are not on the device to be processed, and in OP's case never would be.
