Considering Pocket Edge Purchase

I am new to tablets, Android and dedicated eBook devices, so please forgive my ignorance.

Can you use the Pocket Edge to watch hulu.com shows without Hulu Plus?

I know little about DRM, other than it is what locks the file to a specific device and apparently is also used with library books to set time limits. If I understand correctly, PE can use ePub files from the library. Am I correct to assume that free ePub/pdf files from places like manybooks and project gutenberg will work ok too?

I have a lot of books in MobiPocket, text, Plucker and Palm Reader that I would like to be able to convert over. It looks like Calibre will be able to convert these, correct?

I know it's outdated, but does anyone know if you can sync a Palm Centro calendar with the PE?

I know Entourage is gone, along with their apps store. I am a little nervous about the white screen many get when trying to update the OS. I read somewhere that it may be a hardware issue with a cable?? If you get the WSOD can you return it for another? I would be ordering from buy.com - not the cheapest online right now, but has a 45 day return policy.

At this time, we see using the PE for: eBooks, calendar, web browsing, mp3 subscriptions and playback, document reading/editing and hulu (if possible).

Thanks for any information you can provide!
