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.

    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!
