Transferring ebooks from your PC to your Kobo is doable, but it would take some technical knowledge on the part of the user (e.g. how to setup a file server on the H2O). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to add the new files to the library unless the device is using the internal web browser or connected via USB.
I think using Koreader's OPDS support to access the calibre server, is easier, for transferring an ebook via WiFi from the calibre library on your PC to your device. To pull the ebook off your PC, from your device. (Also to pull them off a web site/URL that has OPDS support. Like "Project Gutenberg".)

If you want to connect to calibre wirelessly and appear as a device in calibre, you can do that too. Then you have to deal with letting calibre build its own file structure, on your device, just like a USB connection. With this you push selected files from your PC calibre library to your device, from your PC.

In both cases, if you don't have the files placed in a "hidden" folder, the files will be subject to the Nickel processing that adds them to the database for the stock readers and has them appear in the Kobo "Library".

So, you could put a good (Samsung or Sandisk) 32GB uSD card in your H2O's external slot and then use some silicone sealant to seal the cover on. Except that you would need another way to charge the battery. Perhaps something like this. Or this.
I ordered one and a charging base for it ($35 total)

Luck;
Ken
