Someone might not have a card at all, could be too young or bad credit rating etc. Or already have their only card on a different Amazon account in a different country.

My response to Mglitch's post was specific to Kobo where they don't seem to care if your email address has any relationship to reality as long as it looks like an email address. As cards, Kobo does not require a credit card -- you can purchase a gift card and add it to your account. This may expose your IP address unless you anonymize that which is going a bit beyond what I consider necessary for security.
