    Kobo has it’s own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.

    Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever…

      My friend Anna was telling me about some Archive or something she found online. I wasn’t really paying attention as they were serving dinner.

      To expand on this a tad: Calibre allows you to manage your digital library. And Calibre-Web allows you to access an existing Calibre database via your e-reader. Once it’s set up, your Kobo can download books directly from your Calibre instance.

      There are a few good ebook stores that offer DRM-free versions of ebooks, which you can add to your Calibre instance. Or Calibre has an (unofficial, not technically supported) extension that will automatically strip DRM from files when you add them.
