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.

Peter, thank you! I think that using "calibre-web" is a good solution. I did a little research on your recommendation, and I found that I should be to configure the NAS system with Docker image of calibre-web. If the NAS can't be configured with this docker image or NAS performance is horrible on this low end NAS, then I'll use an old Raspberry Pi 3 instead. One of the two options using "calibre-web" should allow access to NAS folders. Worst case, buy a Pi 4 for around $35 US. Last question. I assume once calibre-web is operation, I can purchase any Kobo device model to sync Kobo, and this is a standard feature in all Kobo E-readers?
