While yes, calibre by itself is a solution, from your eReader (at least using it's native software) you'd be limited to accessing your books by a web broswer interface and the built-in calibre Server interface.

One alternative option would still need calibre but additionally a tool called "calibre-web" which (as the name sugests) also provides a web interface but also implements a "Kobo Store" interface that would allow you to use the Kobo eReader's "shopping" ability to browse YOUR books on the server, and download content.

Additionally calibre does provide a "wireless device" interface, originally developped to talk to an Android app called "Calibre Companion" but there is a version called Kobo-UNCaGED that allows the Kobo to act as a Wireless Device client to calibre. With this mod you would connect to calibre from the Kobo and then use the true calibre desktop to push content to the device.
