I created an account with a fake e-mail address (xx@xx.xx) which made
it work and then never looked at it again.

I switched off the device's WiFi and never used Kobo Desktop, so it is
not connected to the internet and never gets an automatic update.

You can't reset the device to the initial factory software and keep it
away from the internet? DRM-free books can be added via USB or microSD
card, and for adding DRM'ed books I have Adobe Digital Editions in
Windows in VirtualBox.
BTW, I know ADE could be installed with Wine, but I haven't found out
yet if and how Wine will work with USB.
