Could a person like him install configure and use ADE and copy the ADE books to his device?
Probably a lot of people can't.
Speaking only about the ease and not any other potential concerns, the hardest part of stripping DRM now is learning how to do the initial setup. Actually DOING the initial setup is easy, and once it is set up, the actual process of doing it is trivial and as easy as using any other book management software, be it the stuff that comes with a Sony reader, or Calibre, or ADE itself for that matter.
That being said, I'd expect that there is a certain part of the Kindle user base that can't handle even that much, and couldn't do it with the supported ADE systems either. They bought the Kindle because it had one-click Amazon shopping, no computer required.
