I actually created a fake account years back when I didn't want to register a Kobo that I re-imaged for a friend. It is tied to my PayPal but no other details. I use the Tor browser and reconnect until I get a country where Kobo does not have a partner.
Oddly, I can't find the Star Trek book you are looking for on
www.kobo.com/in/en. The only Dave Galanter book they seem to have is an audio book.
