For the sake of documentation, here are the steps I took to get the Kobo app working on Kubuntu 10.10 64-bit (should be exactly the same for Ubuntu 10.10)
From a terminal:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libpng3
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture kobo-desktop.deb
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libz.so.1.2.3.4 /usr/local/Kobo/libzip.so.1
Libpng3 is a dependency for the kobo package. It might already be installed on your system.
The package is 32-bit, so you have to force it to install on a 64-bit OS. The package file was in my current working directory.
Kobo needs the 32-bit version of libzip. Since I didn't want to disturb my own libzip, I made a link from the 32-bit version into the Kobo directory.
After this, the Kobo Desktop program works fine, but doesn't Update due to the libnickel problem noted above. Your results may vary....
