Unhappy Your library is empty

bought the Kobo Glo, installed the Windows software, installed an update (it runs 2.5.1), and then I thought it would behave like an mp3 player where I can add folders, subfolders and files - I added a folder for me, one for my wife, and subfolders, and I copied some of my epub files to these folders.

None of this is shown when I switch on the Kobo Glo (apparently there even aren't any preinstalled books) - "Your library is empty". How I add existing epub books to the Kobo Glo is not explained anywhere and no part of the Kobo software covers this. I thought it would work similar to the Aldiko ebook software that I use on my Android tablet where I can go into the file system and simply import epub books, but no - I still have no idea how to copy epub books to the Kobo Glo.

Screen and reading look good but if I cannot access my large epub collection that I already own, this device is useless for me. I'm already very disappointed. Please help me love this thing. I saw that people use Calibre to import books, a software that looks very complicated. Isn't there a simple drag+drop way to import epub files without having to use 3rd party software? I cannot believe they made it so user-unfriendly when the device itself looks to nice.
