There is a very easy solution that works. Use the Modify ePub plugin and have to make sure the ePub is UTF-8. It's really easy to do.

As to my mom, I have been struggling with the same issue as the OP as she is not very techy person and even side loading is way to complicated for her and she lives too far away for me to do side loading for her.
So I was looking at some options and it seems that Pocketbook has a Send-to-Pocketbook service which you can email your Epub (just like Amazon) but AFAIK they do not make any conversion but just simply redirects the EPUB file to the Pocketbook in question. I think Pocketbooks also have Dropbox support which would allow you to control what books she sees on her device.

There's a very easy solution. What I did with my mother was I setup Teamviewer on her laptop and was able to remote access her computer. All she had to do was plug the Reader into the computer and press the button on the screen to connect it. I was able to upload, use Calibre, and side load from home.
