In KoboReader.sqlite, INSERT INTO user(UserID,UserKey) VALUES('1','');
That lets me past several of the initialisation steps. The next problem is trying to set up a notebook: I get 'Sync required to download the required handwriting recognition resources'. Can I find these anywhere online?
And if I can find those, am I going to find I am continually fighting the software to carry on without syncing? Although my preference is not to, if I have to, I have to.
Thanks

Stop being paranoid and just register properly. I've had a account at Kobo for at least 9 years. I've had a registered Kobo for 8 years. I've had no issues with Kobo having my information. I don't know of anyone who ever had an issue being properly registered. Kobo is in Canada and they take privacy laws very seriously.
Nobody on MR has posted that they had an issue with Kobo and being properly registered.
