I think it won't be a Kindle.

If it's a Kobo, then you can setup an account for your friend. But that means you would have to create a new email address someplace and give it to your friend.
There is no 100% solution that does not involve your friend having an account someplace so the Reader can be registered. Even a fake Kobo registration can be an issue if Kobo breaks it in a future firmware. Kobo has already broken fake registration once and they could do it again. Plus, a fake registration means Overdrive will not work. So again, the only way to enable all features is to do a proper registration.
