Yes, if you have ePubs and want to transfer files to the reader via USB, Kobo is marginally easier. But Kindle is easier for wireless delivery (regardless of format), and supports it on all of their models instead of just a limited subset.

I have KOReader on my Kobo device, with a couple taps I can connect to my desktop instance of Calibre and transfer books in a flash.

There are some awesome independent tools to get files on the device via the web.

But you’re right. Via email is easy. And I’m mostly thinking of epubs/mobi — but drm free.
