Well, I bought the kobo ereader for my mum today, quite like it, in the lilac it's very pretty

I was going to use calibre for the Kobo, but I've been rethinking it. I currently use calibre for my Sony ereader, and love it. But the all of my books are freebies, non DMR'd books. I think my mum will be wanting to buy new releases, probably all from the one store. She's really good at using itunes and her ipod, I'm hoping to create a similar setup with the Kobo. She's unlikely to be hunting around for cheaper deals or specific books, really just looking for a setup that's easy.

With all that in mind, I installed the software that came with the Kobo. But it looks like the software won't allow me to add already existing books, only purchase books, is this right?

Also, (I'm in Australia) when I go to purchase a book through the software on my desktop, even though all of the prices are listed in AUD, the checkout won't let me choose an Australian address, the drop down for the state only has American states?
