Who wants to have an app that only manages a part of their books and not all ?

So I use the Sony Reader app as a desktop app and that works for me. You may use that or Calibre or any other library management software out there.
Hmmm... since the books the Kobo Desktop App shows you are synced with Kobo's servers -- as it says: "Automatically syncs your library across all your devices and all Kobo eReaders", you really want your book collection stored in a place not under your control? Not to mention the privacy issues that some people might have. From Kobo's point of view, what it would do to the Kobo servers storage requirements could be another consideration as is the potential for Kobo to be in legal doggie doo if pirated books were being synced.
