Are you sending PDFs to you Kobo’s Dropbox folder on a hacked Aura One while using GoodReader as a PDF manager? I can’t think of how else you’re doing that using that app. (It’s not much of a hack, but it certainly isn’t for novices to attempt.)
At any rate, back to the OP: Being able to email an ebook is a handy ability. Some eBook bundle sites used to utilize that distribution method. You’d buy their bundle, give them your email address, then your purchase would automagically appear on your Kindle. Ten years ago, I used to have separate email addresses for all my Kindle devices and apps. But I never actually used them except the one for my Kindle. I believe this was much more useful when Kindles had free built-in 3G connectivity.
I used to achieve a similar effect on my Kobo, but it involved a few more steps. One, you needed Calibre installed with a watch folder. Two, you needed the ability to move the ebook into that watch folder remotely. Three, you had Calibre’s web server running. Yeah…just a “few” more steps.
It’s easier to just send the file to Dropbox now. Google Drive, too, if you have a new enough Kobo.
