I don't know if Kobo is doing is deliberately of not. It could be because Kobo has changed the registration part of the database and that caused the fake registration to go south.

[quote}Does the sideloadmode=true actually allow you to fully bypass the registration? That's my main concern because Amazon have been caught out big time and I'm not willing to take my chances with kobo
Have a look at this from another thread.
