I simply wonder why a hard reset didn't wipe out all the data from the device. If possible I would like to identify where my data is stored, so I may recover my bookmarks for instance. If I can't recover my data then finding a way to really reset it to factory defaults would be great. More generally I would simply like to understand how my device works, and help other people around me or in this forum to do the same.

Well maybe I simply needed someone to explain me that Kobo acts differently than the others. As you mentioned, my worries apply to Apple, Google and Kindle. I'm simply a newcomer used to those companies methods.

I'd not attempt to edit the database to pretend it's registered and there is no need.
Do you mean entering an email adress at registration only populates the user table with this particular information ? Is so then the total registration bypass process indicated in various topics here would just be a illusion making people think they are "great hackers" ? Then the device just needs wifi to download the latest firmware ?
I assume there may be other modifications to the table. I notice there is a conf file for google analytics and I also imagine the registration process creates a profile on kobo servers, uploading as many informations as it can. I may be wrong though, but I confess I would be surprised if not.
