Generally I don't do that though, I use Calibre on my laptop to sideload books and update the firmware over Wifi, which usually takes about 5 minutes. The Kobo Android app isn't designed to interface with e-reader devices, it's for reading Kobo books on your phone/tablet. If you buy books through the Kobo store, I'm not sure how you'd get them onto your Glo without wifi.
I'm not really planning on using the kobo store too much as I have lots of friends with ebooks to swap with. So essentially if I did get an android computer I could still update my glo using wifi with calibre and/or the file manager?
