Privacy disappears in inverse ratio to your willingness to fight for it. If you don't fight for it, you don't get it. More than that, it's not up to you to tell other people that they shouldn't strive for it.
I just bought a used Kobo GLO HD to replace one that won't USB-connect any more. I used the sqlite method and inserted a row to give me access without registering. I used
DB Browser for SQLite for the editing.
The best thing this buys you isn't even the privacy, it buys you a MUCH better firmware. The current firmwares are nothing but ads all over the front page. I have firmware 3.19.5761 on mine. My home screen is a thing of beauty. Books I'm reading, collections I've accessed, books I've just finished. Not an ad anywhere.
And even better, it has a removable sdcard so I can back up my entire firmware and collection.
