I would like a Send-to-Kobo feature, but not like the Kindle's, more like the PocketBook's Send-to-PocketBook feature. I like being to able to buy a book online (basically from anywhere either from a smartphone or computer), downloading the .acsm file, and sending that file to my PocketBook via email and, since PocketBook has ADE built-in, it automatically downloads the book from the .acsm file. Also works for Overdrive ePubs.

I doubt you're going to get it though since Kobo is hoping you'll buy your books from them and most likely aren't anxious to make it easier to buy elsewhere.

For when I do buy books from Kobo on my Kobo (rarely) I would like the option to download the book in ePub format instead of the standard (only) choice KePub.
