The way I register, using a real email and keeping wifi off (but there's nothing on the Kobo account other than that email address, not even my gender), I'd have to say it's as close to not being registered as possible and avoid any hassles. And there are absolutely no features that I miss that way. I don't care about syncing, and I never buy any books through any reader, I prefer to do purchases from my PC and keep them all in one place after removing DRM. I've been buying most from Amazon lately, but that just means if I buy from Kobo, I'd use a different account with a different email used for purchasing that wouldn't be attached to the reader.
However anyone else prefers to handle their privacy on their reader is perfectly ok. Do whatever works best for you and your peace of mind, there's no right or wrong way.

That's actually a good idea. You have your Reader registered to a valid account and don't have to worry about a fake registration no longer working after a firmware update. And the other account is the one that gets used to buy eBooks. And with a valid account used to register, if you do decideto use your account, you can.
