I have a lot of books sideloaded from Calibre—books bought/acquired elsewhere, a handful of Kobo books that I modified for formatting, and a crapton of fanfics—wondering how the best way to do this is.

Copying the database over? (Are they even interchangable between Aura HD and Libra H2O?) Calibre's "send to device" then restore bookmarks with Kobo Utilities? Is it better to send to device in small batches or do it all at once?
Personally, I just send the books to the device. And I usually do it in batches of 1000 or so. I've never had any issues with kepubs as @Sirtel mentioned. And I would actually think they were less prone to causing problems. Unless the issue is with very large kepubs.

There has been discussion on copying the database. People have reported it works. Others have not gotten it to work. I'm not sure enough of the steps to say what should be done.
