Actually, you don't have to give personal info to buy ebooks from kobo.
1) go to a store, buy a kobo gift card
2) use whatever name you want
3) use ... for every section of your address (this is from memory, it might be dashes not ellipses), only your province/state needs to be entered to make sure you are paying the correct amount of tax (possibly also a valid postal code/zip code is needed).

How are you being forced to give your personal info in order to buy books?
