A fake ID wouldn't be necessary, if Amazon stopped intentionally crippling sideloaded books. I don't mean Goodreads, X-ray etc, but a basic thing like displaying covers. They didn't display covers for PDOCs for years, and that was why calibre devs implemented the automatic EBOK tag for AZW3 files. Hell, even publishers like Baen who sell direct used the EBOK tag for their dual MOBI files.
Rather than play such games, it would be more honest to outright disable the USB transfer.
