I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and the Kobo desktop for Linux works well. I tested it by buying a book. I don't have access to a reader yet but assume it would transfer to a Kobo if not to other readers.
One major snag is that when off-line I cannot read the book for which I paid. The 5 books that came with the software can be read off-line which is obviously the way it should be. Is it just the Linux version or does this happen with PC/Mac? Are the books included with the software not restricted by DRM like the one I bought?
