The Kobo app for iOS or Android, AFAIK, is an alternate to having a real Kobo (Like Kindle App or Fire vs an eink Kindle), but the Kobo Desktop program is to "manage" an eink Kobo, so completely different.
BUT, I only ever buy what can be downloaded in a Browser as a file. Never direct via a Kobo or Kindle.

Very sensible. I was trying to buy from Kobo more to support them over Amazon. Literally the only reason I downloaded Kobo Desktop was to try to find another way to access two books which are not downloadable through My Books. It's not something I would ordinarily use, I had read I could access my books from there and add the file to Calibre and OBOK would de-DRM them, but it did not happen that way. I could have bought them through google play instead, but I suspect they may have the same constraints. I bought the books over the Kobo website, not direct from my Kobo (not sure if that would make a difference, but just noting it here). I'll look up the books in this series on google play and consider getting them from there next time, although I don't particularly want to give google any more money than I already have.
