@marcoarment if you want to continue with the e-reader follow-up streak… Kobo readers prefer the kepub format over normal epub, pageturning will be a bit faster and it won’t show those annoying page numbers in the margin (slightly covering some text). My preferred (although overly involved) way of “side loading” books to my Kobo is by using Calibre Web (https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web), which provides Kobo syncing and will convert any ebook format to kepub on the fly.

@marcoarment Using Kobo sync with Calibre Web still allows for buying from the Kobo store from the device itself. (Showing book covers on the Kobo is broken, my PR https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/pull/2731 fixes that.)
