As to your question of whether books you have purchased from Kobo will disappear in ADE (like library books do), the answer is no. Library books disappear after their lending period due to their specific DRM code, where they are automatically "returned." Once you purchase a book, though, it is yours to keep. The DRM of purchased books should prevent copying and distributing, but any books your buy are assigned to your Kobo account and will "belong" to that account indefinitely.

That said, your purchased books should automatically sync to your Vox, so you don't need to transfer them manually. You can also access the Kobo store using your device and skip the use of your PC altogether. Should you delete purchased books from both ADE and your device, they will remain available to you using Kobo Desktop.

I hope that has answered your question?
