Thanks again
I was surprised when I bought my Kobo reader to learn that the Kobo desktop software was for their books only. It doesn't seem like a very useful product. Sony's Reader for PC software worked with all my books no matter where they came from, including other stores and Overdrive library.

I didn't even bother to download the Kobo software. I wonder how many people do. I suppose there may be some people who just stick with Kobo books, but with so many other sources for epubs I can't imagine relying on only one store.
