Edit: When first setting up, the best way might be to first sync with Kobo to download all your Kobo books, then connect to Calibre and check that they all match the books in Calibre's records (occasionally there can be a spelling difference in title or author). Then it will be easy to just sideload the ones that do not have a Kobo downloaded version already on the device.
Thanks, that is very helpful! That is probably what I will do.
