Yes, to YOUR reader, it might be less steps.
Let's do a "my mother" test.

You just received message from your [insert the name of the least technically skilled family member here]
"Dear JSWolf. I have just purchased a brand new PC with Windows. I have also purchased [an ADE enabled eink reader] Reader. Please help me to borrow a book for my Reader from my library."
Now, pick the telephone and guide your hapless relative through process of booting windows for the first time, downloading Adobe software, installing said software (which is something I was unable to do, it keeps crashing on my comp), registering into Adobe system, registering to Library, registering his/her Reader to Adobe software, ... up to opening the book on the Reader.

I would be very surprised if there was less than 24 steps involved.
