Is there a good way to read your own books that you load yourself, across mobile (iOS specifically) and the Kobo hardware? That has always been what's kept me tied to Kindle. The iOS app isn't great, but the "email to Kindle" feature at least lets me send my own ePubs and keep them synced across both pieces of hardware.

You can simply use this website to send yourself books using the web browser on the kobo

https://send.djazz.se/

Or you can host your own "Kobo store" using calibre web and use that to sync your books

If you can put it into epub or PDF you can upload it as a file to the Kobo pretty easily. It's perhaps not as easy as "email to Kindle" admittedly, but I care about file ownership.
