Kobo Clara BW VS newest paperwhite VS smth less popular but still good. Not interested in color. Libra 2 seems very interesting but very hard to find.

    without any account

    Did they make this easier? I have a Sage and I had to open a SQLite database file on the e-reader, then flip some flag, to bypass account sign in. But that was a few years ago.

      I don’t think so, I had to go in and do the song and dance with changing a config file. Reposting this comment here for posterity.

      1. Delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite (if you are already signed in).
      2. Restart Kobo
      3. DO NOT tap “Set up over wi-fi”. Press the other one and connect it to a computer.
      4. Go to .kobo/Kobo/Koboreader.config (or something like that)
      5. Open the config file and under [ApplicationPreferences], write on a new line: SideloadedMode=true.
      6. If you did not do steps 1 and 2, delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.
      7. Eject and restart ereader.
      8. Yay! You just bypassed registration!
