Calibre and ADE manage books that you get through a 3rd party. Kobo does not.
Calibre allows you to manage large libraries of books.
- Download covers/descriptions/reviews/etc.
- Flexible filtering/search/sort/etc.
- Tags
Calibre can convert between ebook formats, make common fixes to ebooks, and even help you edit ebooks.
Calibre offers viewers for most common ebook formats, and it will cooperate with third party viewers.
Calibre can grab web pages and pack them into ebooks. Which is useful if you like to get your daily dose of news away from the computer.
Vendor agnostic bookstore to help you find rare titles or get the best price (which can be $0 if it's in the public domain).
And a lot more.
