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.
I don't believe that using a fake email address has ever "broken" a Kobo due to a firm upgrade.

Sounds like paranoia?
