As for getting it onto your Kobo wirelessly, it is surprisingly easy to set up the Calibre content server. Essentially you use the Kobo's web browser to log into your Calibre library. A listing of all of your books is provided, by default sorted by date so your latest newspapers are on top. There's a button for "epub" at each listing, click on it to get your paper/book wirelessly. Calibre can also be set up to fetch news sources every (or selected days) at a set time, hence being a subscription. You can also get it to keep only a set number of "papers"/"magazines", and to automatically delete those that are greater than x days old. Clearly there has been a lot of thought put into this. One drawback - you computer will need to be on, with Calibre open and the content server activated when you want to fetch papers wirelessly.
I encourage you to try both ways and see what works best for you.
