Edit: The file extensions were TTC. Changing them to TTF got Sitka to show, though now I have six listings for Sitka (Banner, Heading, Small, etc) though Sitka Text is the only set of files I copied over.

Ah whoops, yes, you need to extract the ttfs from the container file first since Kobo doesn't know how to access them fully. As someone has already posted, there are online tools that can do that by uploading the ttc then downloading the set of ttfs after conversion, or if you're on Linux or have Python installed, you can install
fonttools and use font-rename to extract them. In a pinch,
fontforge can open ttcs too and you can save each version one at a time.

Not sure what the differences are on an ereader. I went with Sitka Text.

They follow standard font naming conventions, so I used the Text version since that's optimized for body text at a variety of small sizes which is how I read; Display is usually meant for headers or font sizes larger than 14 pt (but if you exclusively read in large print, maybe the Display versions of fonts might be a better fit for use).
