I remember when I got a Kobo Glo ereader a decade ago, I was soo excited to have an ereader that wasn't tied to Amazon.

So I booted it up, and it immediately wanted me to not only register, but to download a program on my computer, and do it from there.

I refused and got pissed.

I started googling and found a guide to hack it.

You had to manually modify the Sqlite database and create a user there.

After doing that, it just worked.

The feeling of relief and accomplishment was fantastic!

In gormany you can buy Tolino ereaders. Similar price to amazon, does not need an account. If you want to move stuff on there, you can just connect it to your computer, where it shows up as a usp storage device. If you want to use their cloud (no subscription, you get 30GB for your own stuff + all books bought from a number of varios book stores are hostet for free), you obviously need an account, but still upload all your stuff like totally your legally aquired collection of 20000 ebooks. At some point there was the possibility to update it via your computer, so you can use this device completely offline
