Is there a way to "push" a book to a Kobo reader wirelessly?

[mmobes]

My wife and I both have Kobo readers. I have a Libra 2 and she has the Clara2E. I handle all the libraries for both of us, meaning she tells me what books she wants, I get it and add it to the Calibre library, and then add it to her device.

I'm wondering if there is a way to do this wirelessly? I know there are ways to access the calibre library from the Kobo device wirelessly, but that requires her to go in and get the book herself. I want to be able to send it to her device without any interaction from her at all. She just turns the device on and her new books are there.

Is this possible?

I have all my Calibre library synch to the cloud (Mega.) My wife has my Mega account on her computer session too. From there, she can browse my library in her Calibre, and choose which books she wants and transfer them on her Kobo. We can add books to our shared library.

Accessing the same calibre library from different devices (even worse - at the same time) without any precautions (like stopping syncing while Calibre is open) will eventually corrupt your library database. There's a reason it is not recommended in the calibre FAQ. If you don't run the library check (including the part that checks if the files match the database information) regularly, you may not notice any irregularities for a long time.

My Calibre library was often corrupt way before I shared it. It's a one click action to correct it.

Which one click action are you referring to? The common symptom of a corrupted library is files not matching the database information, and that's not fixable by a single click.

I've got Dropbox set up on my Glo HD. I copy the file(s) I want to the sync folder. Then, a regular sync in the Kobo top menu brings in that there are new files in the sync folder, and I have to open the Dropbox NickleMenu item (as my Glo HD doesn't officially support it) and download the file. But, that's three taps to do and very quick: Tap NickelMenu, Tap Dropbox, see the new ebook with a down arrow next to it, and tap that.

One acquaintance was using Kobo-UNCaGED to wireless sync their Kobo Sage with calibre. I'm not sure if software will need an update to work with the new Kobo devices but since the Libra 2 and Sage did need updates, entirely likely.

My experience was that uncaged did not work on the new devices. The issue was that a library of used did not (at the time) recognize the new devices. Since then the library was updated but I'm not sure it a new version of uncaged was released

Which folder do books downloaded from Dropbox get stored in on the Kobo side?

[Frogm4n]

They end up in .kobo/dropbox on the device after downloading. I can navigate to that and read them with KOReader, too, once I activated the Show hidden files box in the Filecabinet -> Settings menu.
