And while it's easier for me to restore my H2O to where it is now than it was to do the same for my Nook, I'd still rather avoid that.

So in your experience, do pre-order books just work for Kobo? Or would I be better served by waiting for the release date and just buying then?
I've only purchased 3 ebooks by pre-ordering and each of them appeared as a download in my library on the day of release. I was not checking at 12:01AM though, more like 12:01PM (Pacific time zone). The only issue I've had is that you can't use a coupon on a pre-order. I seldom use WiFi syncing since I prefer to download on my computer, set any desired information (series, cover, metdata, etc.) in Calibre and then sideload to my Kobo.
