Better to download to computer* anyway for Kobo, Amazon etc. Backups etc. Also then no purchases via Kobo if stolen.

All the Kobos I know here are SideloadedMode=true and the My Books is a far more useful and flexible homescreen.

[* Any device with a browser, file manager and ability to host ereader Mass Storage via USB. Even done it on Android 4.x and micro-USB to USB-A OTG adaptor. Browsing on eink is poor]
