The distinction between Kobo Desktop and Kobo website is not altogether clear to me. I guess main difference is that Kobo and laptop can be synced via the usb cable rather than via wifi. Useful perhaps if no wifi is available. Otherwise presumably anything bought on kobobooks.com will automatically sync with the kobo.

Kobo have moved my question re Desktop up to tier 2 and are trying to determine why the Desktop is so slow and the "not responding" message keeps appearing.

I have experienced a further problem:

I took advantage of a Free book download (Due Justice, Diane Capri). No problem with download to laptop or sync to my BB Playbook Kobo app. But it did not show up on my wife's Kobo wifi. I tried many ways to get it there, but somehow it only showed in My Library on laptop and Playbook.
