You do a bit of setting up at NetGalley to link your Kobo account. Then when you hit the Send to Kobo button, the book appears available for download on any Kobo app or ereader you're logged into. It is listed in your library on the Kobo website, but not available for download from there. These are yours to keep. Which is also true for the NetGalley books delivered via Send to Kindle. Unlike the Adobe DRM and now LCP DRM files which did and do expire after 55 days or whatever the publisher sets. The publisher has the option not to allow these various other methods.

I've used it for some books that were made available through the Hugo Voters packet. Much nicer to sync your Kobo than to deal with downloading via ADE which was the only previous option for Kobos with NetGalley.
