No. You pretty much have to use Adobe Digital Editions to place the DRMed ePub (which includes DRMed ePubs downloaded [.ascm files, actually - Adobe would then download the actual ePub] via the Web from Kobo, if you don't want to use the Kobo desktop software or sync your device with Kobo) on your device. Some books on Kobo have DRM-free versions. *THOSE* you could download manually from your account page on Kobo's site, place them on your microSD card, and have no problem reading them on

In short: there is no way to put DRMed ePubs on your microSD card and have them be readable by any model of Kobo ereader.

(it may be different with Android devices - I hear that later versions of Android make no distinction between the internal card and external cards, because Google loves making things more complicated than they need to be :/, but even there you would NOT be able to transfer the card between different devices and have the files be readable)
