The advice I would give depends largely on what you are reading. Or more specifically, where what you are reading comes from.
Books bought from the Kobo Store should work more or less automagically.. No software or setup needed. Not even Calibre.
Next is books borrowed from Library, if supported in your region, might need a bit more setup or software.
After that is are books you already own or acquired from other various sources. You could just copy those books directly on the Kobo, but here something like Calibre would be very useful.
And finally would be books purchased from Amazon you want to read on Kobo. There you need Calibre and a few add-on plugins.
When you are reading up on posts in this forum, plugins refer to things that are added to Calibre. (Look in Preferences, scroll down to Advanced, there is a button for Plugins.) Patches refers to software you can install on on the Kobo itself to change how it functions for subjective preferences.
The most hardcore of us will buy a book on the Kobo Store, download it, decrypt it, make changes to the book formatting by hand, then send the book back to our Kobo reading device. A sane person would back away slowly while nodding politely.
