SameerH just sent me a link to the .deb. Since my desktop is Fedora, I've not yet installed it.

Could someone explain how the relevant DRM systems work with the Kobo? Are books from Kobo tied to the reader or the desktop or something else? Are they using the Adobe DRM, or something else? I know that the Kobo reader supports the Adobe DRM; is that DRM tied to the reader or the desktop or something else?

Is there a way of migrating DRMed books?

One reason I ask is that if I do an experimental installation of the Kobo Desktop for Linux, I'd hope that I would not lose anything when I blew it away again or installed it on another machine.
