No, I don't use anything other than Calibre to send and sort my books to the Kobo, no other Kobo features at all. But with a real email address, there's never a risk that a future firmware upgrade will "break" the use of that fake email, which would then force me to get around registering again with another fake email. That's the only possible hassle you'd have using a fake email that I can see.

But as I said, that works for me and I'm comfortable with Kobo having an email that shares zero info about me. I'm not saying that's the only way to accomplish peace of mind for anyone else.
