As for the fonts, as @davidfor mentioned, you'll have to create the directory first, it's unhelpfully not part of the standard directory structure.

So let's say — to try being organized about it — I create a directory off the root called "Sideloads" (or something equally imaginative) and copy ePubs or PDFs there. That'd be a good enough location? Or should I be using some other "parent" directory? Same question w.r.t. to the parent directory for a "Fonts" subdirectory.
Which file format does the Kobo prefer for fonts, or does it care? It'd be useful if I could tweak the sideloaded fonts' weights (stroke widths, I guess), though I realize you can't do that with all possible fonts. There's one serif face supplied with the Kobo that I like the best, but alas, no weight changes possible with that one.
Perhaps it would be simpler to let Calibre take care of it. I used Calibre a bazillion times when I needed, erm, cough cough, to make B&N ebooks accessible to, uh, another e-reader app. But if I can do this by just copying .epub or .pdf files at the command line, that's fine too.
Thanks very much to all who replied.
