On the Kobo Glo go to Settings and tap Beta Features and tap Web Browser. When the browser loads enter dropbox.com in the address bar and it'll take you to Dropbox. Log in, navigate to your ebooks and then long press the book you want and tap Download on the dialog that pops up.
The tricky part is logging in since the keyboard tries to cover the text box so you can't easily see what you're doing. Just type carefully when you can't see it and it works just fine.
Initiating a download is also a bit iffy. It works just fine sometimes. Other times I can't make the dialog pop up until I close the browser and open i and start over. Fortunately I don't have to log in again when that happens.
The first couple of times I did this it was incredibly clumsy and I wasn't sure it would be worth the trouble. After that it got easier once I understood when to be patient and now I find it pretty useful. Probably 80% of the time everything works correctly the first time. The other 20% of the time I usually just terminate and start over and it always works okay.
The browser is extremely slow and it sometimes takes 30 seconds to refresh a couple of times and you'll learn where you have to just be patient and wait it out.
