Since the OP is using Calibre, I don't think it woukd be much of a hassle. Just resend the books from Calibre. Maybe a little more hassle if you have patches and other tweaks.

If the OP wants to limit information given to Kobo, using a fake email address works better than using a real address.

How to make sure I can still read my paid-for books if Kobo disappears or closes my account ? What about Adobe ?
Strip DRM and backup your purchases.
