The Borders app is so completely useless that when I accidental bought a book from the Kobo store rather than the Borders store it would even let me load it. I was almost in tears with frustration until I read pretty much this entire forum in one night and got Calibre set up. Now I've deleted majority of the preloaded books and added my own without any problem. Love it!

Now I honestly doubt that the Borders up will be updated in any way to make it better than Calibre any time in the near future.
Now I am not a Kobo owner, but I was reading on the Borders website about the software where it suggests you DO NOT log out of the software, just close the application. Apparently if you log out next time you run the software it will need to connect to Borders and re-download all your books again. If that is true, pretty poor software IMHO.
