Is it something specific about a Kobo e-reader that is amazing or would any e-reader have turned you into an avid bookworm you think?

It's likely because kobo's can be flashed with a custom OS https://inkbox.ddns.net/, which can sync with https://calibre-ebook.com/

My unmodified kobo syncs with calibre.

Have a very old nook (with light!) Got it mainly because it handles epub, but getting books from my server to it is a pain. Can kobo connect to my calibre server and grab books automatically? Or does it need plugging in to sync up?
