Just got another reply from Kobo...and the solution to fixing the issue according to whoever is handling my ticket is to just use ADE instead of their desktop app.

I'm furious that they've told me this. I would LOVE to use ADE instead but books never show up properly for me when I do. The little page numbers irritate me, plus the covers are different once they're on the Kobo.

So I'm going to give Calibre a try, but have absolutely no idea how to use it. For those who do, do your books show up properly once on the device? No annoying tiny page numbers anywhere on the page except at the bottom where they should be? Anyone out there who can give me a quick Calibre lesson? I purchase my books from Kobo, so I'm assuming I start by downloading the ePub...but where do I download it to and what do I do with it after that? How do I get it onto my Kobo?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
