Is there a way to do this? I'm a prospective Kobo Glo buyer. I currently have a wired-only Sony Reader.

A lot of the content I generally get is sideloaded EPUBs (I shop around online for best price then strip DRM).

One thing I'd really like to be able to do with a wireless reader is exactly that: get rid of those darn USB cables / swapping SD cards.

But from my impressions reading online, the wifi is only good for the Kobo store?

Is that the case or is there a way of sideloading stuff to the reader? Ideally I'd like to sideload external content into the Kobo cloud library so that it can get pushed to the devices.

Failing that, perhaps there's some way of accessing a HTTP/FTP server from a Kobo reader then adding that file to the library that way?

Thanks
