I own a Kobo H2O since 2017, I could never bypass the asking for an account on the first run. This includes the time I had to change the internal microSD for a new one flashed with an image from the mobileread forums.
Frankly, I don't really care that much, as I only run KOreader without ever loading Nickel (Kobo's firmware name).

This breaks OverDrive access and obviously access to the Kobo store. https://remy.grunblatt.org/kobo-aura-h2o-electronic-reader-hacking.html https://remy.grunblatt.org/kobo-aura-h2o-electronic-reader-h...
