The button to send the book to the device was disable because the kepub version of the book was alread on the device. To get the epub version of the book is a completely different process.

In fact, it started updating before I could do anything else. I think the last book I bought was in January. Desktop reader disabled since.
Yes, Kobo software and firmware is rude and insists on updating at the first opportunity.

I dislike any of the proprietary readers. I usually disable the Kobo desktop on Windows anyway unless I need it to download a book.
Personally, I rarely use the Kobo desktop application. The only reason I have used it in the last month or so was to try and work out what your problems with it was.

If everyone else loves the bells and whistles of Calibre, that's fine - long may they enjoy them.

Just recognize the fact that some don't agree and quit trying to convert.
I have never tried to convert you. But, I did try to help you when you seemed to be asking for help. As you pretty much ignored all my suggestions, I realise now that you just wanted platform to complain on. Now, all I'm trying to do is counter the FUD you are spreading.
