Maybe after a bit you’ll be interested in poking around and putting your Libra through its paces, but that’s a very individual thing and there’s no rush. Don’t let ‘em overwhelm you. But if you decide to stick your toe in, they are very, very helpful.

*I find it easier to buy from the website than the reader, but that’s up to you.

I quoted this in full because it's a common refrain from some who don't use Kobos that they're not "it just works" simple. When they really are. Like issybird, I too find it easier to buy from the website than on my Libra itself, but all the delightful extra functions offered by the plugins and Calibre are just that -delightful EXTRAS, not compulsory requirements.

Browse, buy, read - very simple. Dangerously so actually, if my spending this month is any guide. Enjoy your Libra!
