I appreciate that disk space isn't costly, but putting all the Kobo/Kindle nooks onto the reader twice (once just to support the record, the other in the relevant app) just seems a bit silly!
However, if it's a manual entry job to add titles after buying, perhaps this isn't the route to look at.

?? Most devices don't run Calibre so I don't understand the TWICE.
I avoid direct to device as those end up in 'protected' storage and are not recoverable by Calibre (or the magic tools).
Also, It is the device (viewer app) that blocks side loading (any source).
IMHO Shun walled gardens. Buy from who you want, NOT because they locked you in.
