You can bypass the registration by modifying the user fields in the database. The problem with that is twice that I know of, a firmware update made use of a field that the hack left blank and that causes a factory reset. Since Kobo does not check the email for validity, my suggestion is to generate an email address that tickles your sense of humour and use it.

You can do this over WiFi or using the PC or Mac desktop app.
