it has nothing to do with you being dim. it has everything to do with making the kobo work faster and smoother. The kobo desktop software could be used to organize our collections and tell the kobo reader where we store those books. It would take a huge processing load off the kobo and streamline searches as it would all be indexed by the desktop computer and that information stored on the kobo in properly parsed data base that the ereader would utilize. This would infact help to increase access time and search times as it would take a load off the ereader. Pyske only sees a small picture and has decided that using multiple software is best. But it is inefficient and could potentially lead to corruption of your books resulting in a person having to reload all over again. Not a big thing if you keep a few books. But some have a huge collections 3000+ or more.. And with the Ebook taking forever to process content off th cards and main memory, I can only imagine how long it would take to do the full 30k of books advertised. But if your desktop software scanned and orgainzied the books on the memory card created a file and data base... also could be used to bring the features of Series, Authur, publisher,genre organization to the Kobo as well as the ability to bring multiple fonts to all our books. This is where the desktop software needs to go. And unfortunately a lot of people figure that the Caliber, ADE, do it all but they dont and they are not a total solution. The Kobo Desktop could be but again its not. It currently can only deal with its own things and it doesnt really do that well. Once you download your book it should stay on your computer 100 percent of the time. not untill you log out.. The books are DR maintained so its not an issue of that. So there is no logical reason to delete them. As far as our books go it would be nice to see our entire collection displayed on the KDS as it would eliminate all kinds of problems. There is no need to sync our books to the KOBO servers that honestly would be a waste of time. We could browse our library from our kobo readers via wifi at home and possibly online as well. And that would allow us to choose the content we want on the readers. But it would be 100 percent handled from the KDS not from 3 or more programs. The intergration of organization would greatly improve the overal perfomance on our Ereaders 10fold. It would also bring alot of the features we want to the reader and most importantly it would provide support to the reader and again taking the load off of mundane tasks would increase the perfomance if the reader had those jobs done via the computer.
But unfortuantely a lot of people are not seeing the trees because of the forest.
