  1. Buy a Kobo EReader.

  2. Hack the EReader so you don't have to sign up with Walmart.

  3. Install Calibre on your PC.

  4. Install Kobo Driver Extension for Calibre.

  5. Use a VPN (I prefer Mullvad), and go to your favorite Book piracy website for epubs.

  6. Download epub books.

  7. Connect Kobo device to your PC via USB.

  8. Use Calibre to upload epub books to Kobo.

  9. Disconnect Kobo from PC.

  10. Profit.

I recommend installing calibre web on a home server, installing koreader on the Kobo, and accessing your eBook library over your WiFi and OPDS.

Koreader is such a good reading experience, I never want to go back to stock firmware (well, except for the dictionaries maybe, those are better.)
