When you don't register, you don't get all the features of your Reader and I know in the case of Kobo, the firmware can change such that fake registering fails and you have to start over.
I've been registered with Sony, Kobo, and Amazon. I've never had a single issue with being registered. And then there are all the eBookstores I've been registered with. If you want to read commercial eBooks, you do need to be registered someplace. You just cannot do otherwise.
So why the paranoia? What's the reason for it?

I think this paranoia is due to distrust of the company, social networks, Internet search engines.Because now the information is bought and sold at the click of a finger.
