Apologies if this has already been asked and answered... or if it's just so blatantly obvious that it should never have been asked....

My wife has discovered the joys of Kobo so I think we will end up getting her one of her own... so I can get back to reading MY stuff.

The question is... how do you handle two Kobos with the Desktop App? If I plug in hers (once we get it) and sync, is she going to end up with MY books?

Or do I have to log out of the desktop app and create a separate log in with a different email address for her?

Also... for those of you who use the drag-and-drop procedure... can you just drop your epub anywhere, or does it have to be within a specific file on the Kobo hard drive? Until now I have been using ADE to sideload (since I had issues with Calibre) but it's such a long process importing IN to calibre to change format and update metadata... and then importing THAT file into ADE to upload it to my Kobo.
