Generally I buy from my computer (or tablet) in batches, and, with my Kindle, I would always just download the books to the device individually as I wanted to read them. With the Kobo, I tend to not do that because I would have to sync to get them on my device, and doing so gets all of the books at once rather than just the one I want. I've had my kobo since the beginning of March, and I've only synced it 3 times--one of those was yesterday, trying to see if I could get the file size to disappear from the list. (it didn't work).
I can't see any advantage to keeping the books in the cloud, it would just make them inaccessible when out of wifi range.

Here are pics of what happens when I remove a kobo-bought book (Neptune's Brood) from my Glo with firmware 3.5.0, and then sort the library by file size. I wonder if the difference is something to do with buying the book from the device?
