I can also browse just the preloaded books to work my way through them like a bucket list.

I have a Glo HD so I never had the books preloaded, but if you're looking for ways to separate out those 100 books, you could create a Collection containing just those 100 books and that way, rather than going through your entire library, you could just call up the Collection and work through them that way. You can do that through Calibre or on the Kobo itself by adding each book to the collection one at a time.

Now, as for a zip of the files themselves, I have already done noisy of the groundwork for something like that and might be able to throw one together. I'll let you know if manage to get one put together as I also understand the newer models don't cover with the preloaded 100 anymore.

As someone helpfully posted the list, I did the same. But I did it a bit different; since it appears that the versions posted on
MobileRead seem to have a bit more work added to them than the stock Gutenberg versions (ex. Better formatting, embedded fonts or even illustrations, etc.), I prioritized adding those copies to my library instead. Where a version on MobileRead didn't exist, I added a copy from the
University of Adelaide's collection since I think they're the next best formatted. Where neither collection had the title, then I added the Gutenberg version (although I could have done the Kobo version instead, I suppose).
Anyway, I posted my work
here, if anyone wants at it (I put the download source in the filename; if you prefer another version from a different source, you can easily sub it in). I think it should be fine to redistribute since it's all public domain stuff anyway.
