So, I think I have been led astray by some other users. I asked if I needed an account to use a Kobo and I was advised No, all you needed to do was input an email address, and it does not even need to be a valid address.
Maybe things have changed because I could not proceed past the account page during setup. You are asked for email, confirm email and password which then creates an account at Kobo. In settings, if I log out of the Account it resets the Kobo and needs to be set up again.
Bottom line is that you cannot use the Kobo without a valid account, and the account needs to remain active on the Kobo.
