Kobo Desktop Edition
Kobo Desktop Edition is a free desktop application that allows users to read and purchase eBooks from the Kobo store on their Mac or PC. The app syncs with users' Kobo accounts, providing access to their digital library and allowing them to read books with customizable text settings and reading features. It's primarily used by Kobo eReader owners and customers who prefer reading on their computer screens rather than dedicated e-reading devices. The app also facilitates managing and transferring books to Kobo eReaders via USB connection.

1 suggestionUnfortunately, Kobo has discontinued its Desktop app for Mac and PC, and new downloads are no longer supported according to recent reports. Since the app has been abandoned by Kobo, you should consider migrating to alternative eBook reading solutions. For Mac users, Apple Books is the most seamless native alternative, offering a similar reading experience with support for EPUB files and cloud sync across Apple devices. You can import your existing EPUB books from Kobo into Apple Books. Another excellent option is the open-source Calibre application, which has native Apple Silicon support and can manage eBook libraries from multiple sources including Kobo.
