It cost around an hour to figure out how it works and set it up but was worth it. Now I prefer this over Nickel, as I have way more options to customize the reading screen, page turning is faster, I can leave my books in epub and like the utilites it has (reading and battery statistics etc).

About privacy, it's not just about to prevent who sees what I read and who doesn't, it's the principle.
One can do this with everything else, there are lots of alternatives and most of time it is even better and more convenient than what Big Tech can offer.
If you give up on your privacy and principles, you are welcoming 1984 with open arms.
Not registering your Kobo is not privacy. It's paranoia. However, once you do register you can keep WiFi off. I do. I don't do it for so-called privacy, I do it because I don't sync.
