Some Kobo books are non-DRM. The issue for me is that when you are shopping on your computer--you can't know which are, and which are not. I have heard that the ADE servers do not add in DRM for DRM free books, but I do not know that with any degree of certainty. I do know that I have been able to download DRM free ePUb books directly into Calibre from Kobobooks and these books continue to not have DRM.
Corey Doctorow makes the point that kobo does sell DRM-free books when he explains which sites he will allow his books to be sold on, and which he will not. See:

I’m happy to report that Amazon, to its eternal credit, was delighted to offer my e-books without DRM and with the anti-EULA license language, as was Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
