(You can do both if you wish).

Kobo DRM is different to Adobe DRM, you don't need an Adobe ID or to authorize your device with ADE to read books that hae Kobo DRM.
It's the kobo download I'm getting. I'd never side load an Adobe DRM ePub directly to my device. That's good news as it means I'm unlikely to hit any issues going forward unless I am forced to upgrade my ADE to 3 or ADE 2 suddenly refuses to open a Kobo download.

If that happens I'll simply stop buying from kobo.

Thanks for the explanation btw, I really don't get Adobe DRM tbh,
