what is a fully working aura HD worth nowadays ? ( UK)
as we only re-up books to it about once a month, and as the port seems OK for charging still, we'll continue to muddle on I guess,

Here it would cost not more than 10-15$ for that kind of work, but UK is a different beast i suppose

You can download books from calibre via WiFi , using the calibre content server an the inbuilt kobo browser.
On top bar on calibre there is a "Connect/Share" button.Press that and press start content server.After it started it will show the ip address and port of the content server, something like "192.168.1.101:8080" . So you enter that address in the kobo browser and you can browse and download from your calibre library
Edit:
Pc running Calibre and the e-reader should be connected to same WiFi router.
