If it's the latter what exactly do I have to do? That may end up the deciding factor on whether to get one or find a different toy, maybe a camera.
If you are looking at links that point to Kobo (Bookbub for example), purchase the book and it will sync to your Kobo over WiFi. Others such as Bookgorilla that only do amazon.com would require a more involved process.

For Amazon ebooks, I purchase them, sync them to the Kindle app on my computer, bring them into calibre, convert to epub and sideload them over USB to my Kobo (I do transfer some over WiFi using calibre server but that's a whole other kettle of fish).
