Be aware that making this change might not work. A year or two ago, I bought (through eBay) a Kobo e-reader that had originally been part of the fnac affiliate arrangement. When I booted it, I got the fnac splash screen and was unable to register the device to my ordinary Kobo account.
The vendor advised me to edit the affiliate.conf file so that "affiliate=fnac" reads "affiliate=" and reboot. I did.
Unfortunately, further attempts to register the e-reader to my Kobo UK account failed in the same way as previously: error messages involving fnac. Examining the affiliate.conf file revealed that something had rewritten it, returning it to its previous state - i.e., it again read "affiliate=fnac". I went round the loop three times, just to make sure that I hadn't done something wrong (not that there's a lot of scope for it), with identical results.
I ended up returning the device to the vendor (who was, to be fair, pretty good about it).
