with this process however with credits extended my subscription.
Not having received a paper for a couple of days, I checked
my account to find my subscription had been cancelled???
I called Kobo and they advised they no longer were offering the service hence the reason for cancellation!! They gave no advance notice and offered no alternatives, just quietly cancelled.
I did call the Toronto Star and they do offer a digital version for PCs/Tablets/smartphones but I HATE reading a newspaper on a PC and
have yet to buy a tablet.
So the question is, are there any alternatives to obtaining/downloading
a newspaper to the GLO? I doubt any such option will be as easy as a one touch SYNC.
I did try the Caliber newspaper thing along time ago, maybe thats my
only option? Worst case is I have to buy a tablet.

I have a subscription to the London Review of Books and simply use Calibre to download the whole issue, then sideload it. Surely there must be a Calibre recipe for the Toronto Star? Alternatively, you can ask for one, Calibre folks are very helpful.
