Kobo doesn't have wireless sync for third party book. That's a killing feature for many people on Kindle.

Kobo's default OS has Dropbox and Pocket support. You can just drop a book in your Dropboox and it'll appear on your Kobo through wireless sync.

Dropbox is only available on Kobo Forma, Sage, and Elipsa. It isn't available in more popular Libra 2 or Aura HD.

It's not native, you're right. Many of us have been using Kobocloud for years to automatically sync to cloud drive services: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

I won't lie, I was excited to see the technical solution here - but this appears to be a stack of horrific shell scripts fixing everything via curl. Is it dependable, in your experience?

You can use KoReader built in Calibre remote push, or you can try https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud/pull/35
There is working tgz but you will have to find it on your own.

koreader really is the way to go.

It’s basically equivalent to Amazon and when you purchase from Kobo (or check out from local library) it shows up automatically when you sync via wifi.
They’ll even price match Amazon (credit for difference in cost +10% bonus) just by filling out a form.
