They weren't more than $2-3 each, but still. It's the sideload-syncing I care more about than the wireless-transfer option, really. If they could just bake that into the existing Dropbox or Drive integrations, I think that would be sufficient.
Plus, I think it would improve Kobo's market position. I encounter so many people on the Kobo subreddit looking to move away from Kindle, but then drop the ball as soon as they discover there's no Send-to-Kindle equivalent. For whatever reason, that's a deal-breaker for alot of people. I don't agree with the sentiment, but it seems to be what people want.

It was a dealbreaker for my sister-in-law. She likes to heavily annotate her reading and she loves the Kindle sync, since she can annotate either her Amazon purchases, or any books/documents she sends via Send-To-Kindle and know her annotations are backed up in the cloud.
