I then synced my H2O and the books showed up there too. Feeling like I was on a roll, I then checked out and downloaded a PDF ebook from the library and synced my KA1. The KA1 synced a epub3/kepub version of the ebook.
I don't get Kindle as a download option here, just epub and (rarely) PDF so can't comment if selecting Kindle would cause my KA1 not to sync the book.

That's not how it works for me and others. There are discussions about this process in the Kobo forum Overdrive threads. However I haven't tested since the new website was rolled out so maybe it works different in the new one. That would be great because it was annoying. It's also possible it changed after the latest firmware too. I will have to try it out again.
EDIT: So I just tested again. Thank you! They have definitely changed this sometime recently. I have two Overdrive books on my KA1 and two Overdrive books checked out. One of the Overdrive books has no format selected yet and the other is Kindle. This is great news. Now I can check out a book and read it on both my KA1 and my Kindle!
However it doesn't change the main point of the discussion which is that there is still no Kobo format option just because my KA1 is linked to that Overdrive account.
