I can't tell you about Kobo aura but I have a Sony PRS-T1 and it is indeed just select and send with calibre to transfer files to it. Very easy!

I wouldn't use the sony software to do it though, because then you can only sync both libraries. It takes forever when you have much stuff on your reader. I don't know if they changed that by now but for me it was a no go! With calibre you have no problem there.

I think the more important question should be though, if you want to transfer other informations too? For example: I read much fanfiction or series of books and with Sony these informations (when you have a column for that) will be easy transfered to your reader too and it will automaticlly make an additional collection out of my series column and a collection out of my tag column. Helps me find books from a same series but with different titles or for example all my Hawaii Five-O stories very easy!

I know with Kindle you have to do that with a workaround plugin for calibre. I don't need that for Sony!

So, I think normal transfer is no problem for any reader, transfering more information can be different from reader to reader.
