My main reason for wanting it is borrowing from my local library (might be worth checking if you have family in the UK whether you can do that too, don't know if overdrive geo-lock, might just need a valid UK library card), but I have a bunch of kindle purchases and so going multi-platform is a concern.
Does the Kobo support library books, but only via USB syncing with a computer?
I gather I can strip the DRM of kindle and/or epub but is one easier than the other? I'd like to tend towards one main store and then convert for the other device.

Kobo is supported at my library. All Epub-readers are. I use Calibre as my desktop program, so I always plug it in to sync and I can't comment on the Kobo Desktop program. Epub is supported by most digital libraries around the world. And there's nothing unusual about the types of files Kobo reads, so you can pretty much assume that any library that supports Epub format supports Kobo. Same goes for Sony, obviously.
Maybe this is just my paranoia, but I prefer to strip Kindle books simply because I know for sure whether it's worked once I convert the file. Since I can't "see" the stripping process, I like to do something to make sure. Epub isn't necessarily more difficult though.
