Why might I want the Kobo desktop app?

Thanks!
My main use is when I factory reset my ereader (common) or purchase a new one (a lot less common). I tend to cause issues with my Kobos so I've done quite a few factory resets. It's just easier to use my laptop keyboard to enter username/password information and do the initial firmware upgrade and sync of Kobo purchased ebooks. I also add my Adobe authorization and fonts back to the Kobo and after the restart, I copy over GeoffR's patches. It's also handy when I want to import Kobo kepubs into Calibre.
