I like the Kobo desktop for setting up my ereader after a log off or a factory reset -- the physical keyboard is much easier for entering my password.
A couple of Kobo ereaders are not able to run their setup using wifi after a factoty reset since the factory reset firmware version is too old making the Desktop a necessity for them as well.
Hmmm... since one person mentioned handing their original Kobo off to their husband, that unit does not have WiFi so you need to use USB and the Desktop app to load books purchased from the Kobo store.
And finally, the most important use for me for the Desktop app -- a new version is often released immediately prior to a new firmware version.
