I don't have Calibre installed and as I am technically fairly illiterate think it would be beyond me, and I probably wouldn't need most of its functions anyway.

So for simply downloading ebooks from sites other than Kobo or lending libraries I'm not sure what to do. Any advice much appreciated.
I really recommend using Calibre! Now would be the ideal time to start, while your library is small and you should feel more and more comfortable with it as you get more books. You don't have to use all its features, just use the add books and keep all your books in it as a "catalog" so that you don't get the same book twice, so that you can easily find a book gotten long ago etc. I don't use a tenth of what it is able to do and that's fine! Calibre is quite easy to use for the "basics".
I think your question about where the ADE books go was missed in the great answers you got...
The ADE books go into "my documents", "my digital editions" folder by default.
