Maybe I also made an error in the registration bypass process that I didn't do at first try.
If you enter devmodeon in the search field, this will enable developer mode and allow you to access the factory reset from that menu which is a real hard reset to factory. The other choice is the manual factory reset. See Manual reset your Kobo Clara HD, Kobo Nia, Kobo Elipsa, Kobo Clara 2E for that procedure.

I would guess that you have never tried to browse the web on an eInk device? It is not something that I would do if I could avoid it.

Basically, I would agree with @Quoth. The email address I set up for my Kobo registration has only received emails from Kobo so I would agree that they are not selling the information. I do obtain quite a few books from Kobo so I get emails from them about specials and recommendations.
