Everyone should decide, and behave accordingly.
It's not paranoia. It's a facts-based decision.
Those accusing others of paranoia don't live either in a house made of transparent glass house, since they have "nothing to hide".

You have to register a Kobo in order to use it. A Kindle can be used unregistered, but you do lose some features.
There is no disadvantage to registering. I have a Kindle PW3 and a Kobo Aura H2O that have been registered for about six years for the Kobo and about 4 years for Kindle. Not once have I had a single problem. I do keep WiFi off most of the time. The Kindle originally wasn't mine, but it was registered and again no problems at all. I know of other Readers that are registered with no problems at all.
Can you please show us examples of problems with having a Reader properly registered?
