Overview
The Kobo desktop client is still in development but you can install an older beta version by following the steps outlined in this post.
Please note that this Kobo desktop build is not officially supported and outdated compared to the ones released for Windows and Mac OS X. It worked fine with my Kobo mini but your experience may vary.
Dependencies
Before proceeding to install Kobo desktop you will first have to manually install a number of dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62:i386 libpng3:i386 libzip1:i386 libicu44:i386 libzip1:i386
Depending on your Ubuntu version you might find that one or more of these dependencies aren't available in the repositories. In that case you will have to manually grab the packages from launchpad.
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for instance I had to download the following packages manually:
Ater downloading the packages install them either by double-clicking on them (this will launch the Software Center / gdebi) or through the CLI:
cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Installation
Next, we will download and install kobo-desktop:
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2183775/kobo-desktop.deb
sudo dkpg -i "$HOME/kobo-desktop.deb"
A Kobo Desktop launcher should now appear in the dash. Clicking it will launch the application :
Additional notes
Kobo Desktop is great for setting your eReader up initially and managing your Kobo store purchases. For any advanced eBook management I would advise you to take a look at Calibre, a fantastic open-source eBook library management application that is fully compatible with all current Kobo eReaders.
