What danicca and AnemicOak said! Kobo Desktop is a mess, and I would recommend avoiding it. If the book you want from Kobo has DRM on it and you don't want to strip that, you can buy the book from Kobo in your web browser, then go one of two ways:
1. Connect your Kobo to your wifi network and Sync, and the book (in kepub form) will download directly to the device.
OR
2. Click the "ADOBE DRM EPUB" link in your browser after buying, download the epub with Adobe Digital Editions, then use ADE to put the book onto the Kobo device. Note that unfortunately not all books have the epub download option.
Alternately, you can google Apprentice Alf and go that way, which will mean (a) you can buy books from wherever you like; and (b) your books will remain available to you if/when Kobo falls over (as all businesses will eventually, no matter how robust they are now). Once set up this is very simple to use and shouldn't be avoided for reasons of complexity, only for other reasons, if you find them compelling.
