I do have an Aura One eReader, so I have no problem with connecting to Calibre and side loading books. What I want to do is avoid the little gotchas that I ran into with the Aura, such as downloading all my ebooks from the Kobo store _before_ I connect to Calibre to avoid duplicates (though there are some formatting advantages to using the deDRM version). Also the issue of series where I have some books in the series from Kobo (actually originally the Sony store) and some from Amazon. How to make sure they all show up in the same series grouping. Is there a way, or does the series info get tagged in a different way than Calibre use? Also, any little things like reading list and the like would be helpful.

Thanks
If you are sideloading the books from calibre, everything should remain the same. For books synced from Kobo's site, you'll find the same issues. Since I prefer to sideload my books, for the most part, I buy the book, download it and then archive it.
