Not Amazon environment, I read a decent amount of fanfics so something easy to just drop the files in with Calibre please and I hate Amazon as a corporation so I'd rather not get into their ecosystem or give them money.

In general, I don't think most people would describe web browsing on Kobos as fluid.

I think most people would say don't use the web browser on Kobos (and Kindles) unless you have no other choice and be prepared for a frustrating experience.
