Uploading ebook files to a Kobo Aura One

https://www.kobo.com/desktop offers a software to handle ebook collections and upload it to Kobo ebook readers. Unfortunately, it works only on Windows and Mac. I am thinking on buying a Kobo ebook reader but it is not clear whether I can use Linux to manage my ebooks and upload them to the reader with a USB cable. What software do I need on Linux to connect to a Kobo ebook reader? Can I simply use it as an external drive?
