That's exactly what I am doing now.

will you be using calibre to transfer your books?
I will probably be using ebook-convert.exe to convert my HTML files to EPUB, so in this sense I will be using Calibre, but I am perfectly willing to switch to a different command-line tool, including a self-developed one. The actual transfer will be done using regular file transfers, definitely NOT using an application.

do you intend to read your books as standard epub or will you be using calibre (or Kepubify) to transfer them as kepub format? Font handling in the kepub renderer is different from the standard epub Adobe renderer.
I definitely prefer standard EPUB.

Have you given any thought to whether you may decide to use the kobopatch system to apply many and varied optional tweaks to the firmware.
Not yet. I just got the Kobo a few days ago. Once I am comfortable with it, I will definitely be exploring available mods, but not straight away. Unless patching is the only way of getting properly functioning fonts.
