Apparantly the kobo didn't get this feature. Or can I install ADE on a Kobo?

I assumed you couldn't install apps on a public computer. Can you even have 2 ADE installations under the same Adobe ID?
The basis of the question WAS that I don't understand DRM and ADE very well. I know I get encrypted books from kobo direct to the reader when I can get wifi working. I know I can get unencrypted books and load them sideways. But I don't know how to get non-kobo books that are DRM'ed. Especially if I'm travelling and haven't taken my desktop computer with me. Or how to change the Adobe ID to use someone elses ADE installation.

Thankyou.
Although its irrelevant to the question,
I dont have 1100 books, I could not name 1100 titles I wanted to read.
I think, if some digital rights agreement meant that ebooks could not be released until say, 10 years after the paper print, I'm sure the consensus would NOT be "stop this my-neighbour-has-such-nice-things-I-must-have-them-too"
And yes, when I said travelling I was thinking years. My son is in the 2nd year of his "round the world trip"
