You should look through the patches, there are many tweaks that make reading more enjoyable, including a less cluttered homescreen. They're pretty much foolproof now and do not cause any problems. I have 40 of the various patches enabled, plus the Miniclock add-on, and there is no slowdown at all from it.

Registering the device with Kobo does not tie you to using Kobo or limit you in any way. I registered with an email that has no payment info attached to it (I was always concerned about losing the ereader and someone being able to instantly buy hundreds of books on my account), keep wi-fi off, and sideload all my books that I purchase mostly from Amazon lately, but also Smashwords and other smaller sellers. I'm not tied at all to Kobo.
