With the Kobo, you can use an email address that doesn't work anyway.
Amazon only care about the ebooks they sell. They hardly police their own sellers. You can be nearly anonymous if you use the US Store and register with a real email address that a US marketplace gift card was sent to.
Amazon DO collect each page read and book status of all the books they sell you, how else would the Lending and Unlimited system work? The App (and thus Fire) and the PC program are far worse than the physical Kindle as you don't need WiFi/3G once you've registered.
I buy Amazon eBooks for specific Kindles (depending on marketplace) and "download for Transfer via USB".
