this is a quicker alternative than the traditional orthodox procedure I execute in order to find them correctly storaged and classified:
  1. Bringing them as .epubs with GrabMyBooks
  2. Adding them to Calibre library
  3. Setting Shelf and other metadata correctly for each one of them
  4. Sending them from Calibre to Kobo
  5. Ejecting Kobo
  6. Re-plugging Kobo
  7. Re-ejecting Kobo



This long procedure is ok for important articles and pages, essays, reviews, and any other content worthy enough to be preserved also after the first reading. For months I have been saving dozen of articles this way, and I'm quite satisfied.
If you just want the book on the device an in a collection, you shouldn't need to replug the device. The collections should be set by calibre when sending the book.
