Calibre just provides a little management on top. I use it for doing things like cleaning up metadata (making sure all books in a series have the same series name, for example), and transferring books over wifi (calibre can spin up a mini web server that I can access on the kobo).
I could get by without it, but it's nice sometimes.

Wait, you can use calibre over wifi? I've been using it for years and never realized...

that makes sense, I might try it sometime soon. A lot of the books I *acquire 100% legally* have messed up cover metadata

It also does some niceties around fonts when you do a conversion. Some ebook readers dont come with specific fonts so they just use the inbuilt one(s).
