That is how I use my Kobos, I don't download anything direct from Kobo. All the books go into Calibre and get loaded on my devices via Calibre.

Except that if you sync the device at any time (such as to get a firmware update if you don't want to do it manually) it will download some of your most recent purchases. True enough that it's easy to just delete them all at once when it does that. Also even when set to only show downloaded items I know mine still shows books in the cloud with an option to download them (I load all books as kePub's via Calibre).

Not really the point for some. Some people want to have all of their stuff on their device regardless of if/when they might access it next. I'm not personally too bothered by the lack of a card slot, but will admit that having all of my books on device (like I do now) and being able to just search for what I want as the mood strikes is sure nice.
