Sorry, but your advice is not going to work. You need to create an account in order to buy eBooks. You cannot get away from doing that. So use that account to register as Kobo already has your information.

Amazon, Kobo, Google, eBooks.com, Smashwords, Baen, Apple, and others all need to have a valid account to be able to buy eBooks.
