I'm thinking of buying a few ebooks right now from Kobo.com BEFORE I register the Kobo.
(1) Will there be any problems later when I actually register my Kobo Glow?
(2) Can the calibre plugins handle the conversion of epubs bought from Kobo.com, so that I can read them on my other devices?
Thanks,

1- you can buy books now, register your reader later as long as it's the same account. I had been buying Kobo books a long time before buying my first Kobo reader!
2- yes the Alf plugins work but not on the books purchased directly on the device; they are "kepubs" and only work on Kobo devices. You have to use a computer to download the actual "epub" from your library on the Kobo site and convert that copy in Calibre for reading on other devices.
I personally never buy books using my Kobo readers, I always purchase on my PC since I run everything through Calibre. That's because I buy from several sources including Amazon and have several different devices I read on.
