Honestly, just read some books. You will learn something about the device. You will learn what you like and what you don't like. Then you will know what you need to look for to change. Or maybe you will decide it is perfect. Or so bad you throw the device in the garbage.
There is actually no need to change anything, nor circumvent sign-up. Kobo doesn't demand a payment method or an address. Or didn't last time. The email doesn't need to even work.

I do use Calibre and backup the database occasionally. But I use the Kobo Utilities to read/copy the annotations for a book as soon as I finish it, or the next day, so a self corrupted database isn't a huge issue.

The best addition is Calibre, no need then to change anything on the Kobo. Annotations and Collections work better than the Kindle. Sync is over-rated. It was handy on a PDA with a PC. Not needed for ereaders. If I do start to read on the phone instead, I can simply search a phrase, which is faster than Sync and Sync relies on single vendor ecosystem. It seems more a hazard than help on Kindles.
