Hi, DrScotter. The Kobo desktop software is for viewing books on your computer. You don't need it. It sounds like from your posts that you are using the Sony Reader Library software to manage your ebook library. The process for using Kobo books is similar to the process for using Borders books.
Go to the Kobo website and sign in to your account. It should bring you to your Library page. If you are already signed in, then you can click the link "Library" to the right of the search box at the top of the page. In your Library, you will see a list of the books that you have purchased. There should be a box next to the book that says "Adobe DRM EPUB". Click on that box. On my Mac, clicking on the box downloads an ACSM file. On a PC, it might prompt you to download the file or open it. Once you have downloaded the ACSM file to your computer hard-drive, then right-click on it and select "Open With > Reader Library". That action will launch the Sony software and import the book into your Sony library just like with the purchased Borders books.
Note: If you don't see the box "Adobe DRM EPUB" on the Library page of the Kobo website, and instead you see a blank area, then it is possible that you may have purchased a book that doesn't come in EPUB format. It is rare but does happen. Before you purchase a book, you should check its info page to make sure it says "Download options: Adobe DRM EPUB". I learned this tip the hard way!
