Kobo is just as tied in to a single vendor as a Kindle or a Nook. Using Calibre to manage your library frees you up to use any device you choose.
I do like Kobo's software though. It is very good with series, which you mentioned elsewhere.

Once you get your Clara, I'd try both to see which you prefer. If you haven't already, search this forum--there are many posts from both people who prefer kePub and those who prefer ePub stating the reasons they prefer the format they do.

This is very good advice. If you do prefer kepub, there's still no reason to keep them on your PC.
