IMO the question is about books from the Desktop (Kobo original kepubs, protected with DRM).

His answer is correct but implies:
* you can copy manually kepub and epub files to mSD media.
* using Calibre it implies that these books are DRM free, (a) drm has been removed from original kepubs (which is illegal), (b) books are homebrew kepubs (converted) a.k.a. sideloaded kepubs.

but original kepubs in the Library of the Kobo Desktop software are protected with DRM.

I agree, it can be convenient to store all books on removable media instead of internal memory. DRM protected books can't be read on many other devices anyway (just a few), as books are locked/limited to (a) single user account, and (b) device authentication.

It would be a great option if the user could specify the preferred download location on connected ereaders.
