Thanks for the info - didn't realize it could all be done WiFi.

Friend is in another city so I won't do the two accounts on one computer.

Wouldn't be sharing books so the separate accounts sound good. What does the Kobo account manage or do? For example, I make my Kobo account using my email and password and download a few of the free books from their website and a couple of epubs from my computer and give that glo to my friend. Friend takes it home and makes their account but if they don't download the free books from the website into their account would those titles disappear from their glo whenever it synced to their account or something?

And I guess all purchases are tied to the account so I shouldn't buy anything under my account and transfer to their Kobo if I don't expect my friend to be using my account - is that about right?

Thanks for the help. I think maybe I'm the technophobe...
