As far as I'm aware, all of them need either ADE or RL to download the actual Adobe DRM ePub. I did mention either being required when downloading newly purchased books. Straight copying of the DRM'ed ePub (as is), you can use any software you're comfortable with.

What is so difficult with a simple drag&drop or copy/paste operation via Windows Explorer? I was trying to think of the Mac equivalent but I couldn't recall it at the time (is it called Finder?). Only thing that popped to mind was Dolphin (Linux KDE file manager). Given how slow ADE and RL both are with large libraries (I have around 200+ purchased ebooks and 2000+ fanfics converted to ePub), I prefer doing a manual copy/paste using good ol' Windows Explorer.

I'm finding Kobo to have a decent selection, too. Probably can't compare to Amazon but they seem to have a better selection than some of the independent ebook retailers I've used (Fictionwise prior to BN take-over and BooksOnBoard).
