My Desktop gets swamped mostly with romance novels and celebrity gabfests, titles that I'll never buy, and that clearly don't reflect my browsing history on the Kobo bookstore, so where do they come from? Are they solely based on sales numbers? If so, they're not really recommendations for me, just scattergun-approach junkmail.
Thing is, I'd actually welcome "recommendations", if they were based on subjects and genres I actively browsed. But without the option of saying "No thanks" to the junkmail, how's that ever going to happen?

Mac, I very rarely open Desktop for PC. I download the epub versions of the books, and I open them with Sony Reader for PC, and then import into Calibre. (Others download with ADE)
If I get stuck with a kepub formatted book (and that's because I haven't checked the format of the book I bought prior to buying
), then I need to use Desktop just to download that particular book, which stores it onto my PC. I then open Calibre and use obok to retrieve the book.
My Kobo ereaders use a 'dummy' email address in that I don't have any Kobo accounts that use that email address. And I never use the device wifi.
It works for me .....
