Too time-consuming, because I prefer to keep wifi off most of the time). Besides, I can always store my reading position in calibre and restore it to any of my Kobos later if I really need it (in case of factory reset, for example).

YMMV.
Agree 100%. Though I do highlight and annotate material I'm proofing, but I have zero interest in sync that to another ereader (or letting Amazon have a copy). I only want to export it.

I've also used Calibre to save then restore all positions and status when copying to a new ereader. It can't write back highlights & annotations, but I use Kobo Utilities and copy those per ebook to text files for my use. I found the Paperwhite 3 much worse for the purpose of proof reading and annotating.
The DXG was terrible.
