Doing it on the device is a completely different thing. It shouldn't be hard to do the check and copy, but notifying the user is different. I can't remember if I have seen a way to do this mentioned in Kobo developers forum.

Adding a log as a book is easy, but getting it displayed on the list is a problem. You would have to trigger something to process the book and add it to the library. There has been some discussion of this but I don't think there was a satisfactory solution.
