Thank you, that's a very good suggestion! I went with email because it's dead simple with no extra setup required - but you're right, a Dropbox integration could help reduce the email-sending overhead.

I just took a quick look at how Kobo's built-in Dropbox integration works, and it seems to be one-directional - it's scoped for importing files into the device rather than exporting files out of it. So in my case, I'd need to create a Dropbox App, implement an OAuth flow through the web app, and use the credentials securely on-device. It's definitely doable but adds a bit of complexity compared to the current email flow. I've added it to my feature roadmap though - if enough users are interested in this as a feature, I'll bump it up. Thanks again for the idea!
