A send-to-Kindle clone was my greatest wish from Kobo, but not to the tune of $36/year. No thanks. I’ll still use my Kindles for that function.

My guess would be that Amazon--through their side business of AWS--can afford to be a loss leader on that functionality. Perhaps Kobo cannot.
I have to give kudos to Kobo for at least listening to feedback: lord knows that Sideloaded Sync, Send to Email to Upload, and Multiple Library Card Support were easily the top 3 most frequent requests/complaints I'd see on r/kobo. It's just a shame that the top two will be locked behind a paywall.
I may try it out for a year and see how much I really use it. I am already paying for a premium Instapaper subscription, though, so SaaS-fatigue is fast setting in...
