That was my first thought, but Apple devices (iPhone/iPad) don't allow you to manually set a MAC address without jailbreaking. You can use "private MAC address" which will generate a unique MAC address for each access point, but the device choses the MAC address randomly--you can't specify.

My other device is a Lenovo Carbon X1. You can manually set the MAC address on that, but the NIC forces the first two characters to a certain setting (I think it's 00), I assume to deter improper spoofing, so I can't set it to match the Kobo's default which starts with 58 for me.
