And how do I download from Gutenberg etc, when it only goes to kobo's shop?

There is no need for any Kobo software on your PC (unless you don't have a wifi connection, in which case you will need the Kobo desktop software to sync, update firmware, and transfer books bought from the Kobo shop, all of which could otherwise be done directly from the device via wifi). You will need Adobe Digital Editions on your PC to transfer Adobe DRM books, and it is a very good idea to use Calibre to transfer DRM-free books, although you can also just drag and drop the book to the device's filesystem.
You can download DRM-free books directly via wifi from Gutenberg or other places using the built-in browser. You can also use this method to transfer books via wifi from Calibre on your PC, although there are some extra Calibre options that only work if you transfer via USB (such as sending covers, setting series information, etc.)
And, of course, you can get books from Kobo using the bookstore interface, books obtained this way will be downloaded to the device as Kobo epubs or kepubs. If you want the standard epub version instead you can download that from the Kobo website to your PC and transfer it via ADE, Calibre, etc.
Edit: BTW the built-in browser is accessed at Settings > Beta Features > Web Browser
