The way they announced it initially, when Rakuten bought Kobo, and the way they briefly describe it in the article linked in this thread, makes me hopeful that we'll have something built in to the Kobo firmware that will let us bypass the need to use anything other than the Kobo itself. This would, of course, not be true for the iOS and Android reading apps, but devices using those have the means to utilize Overdrive already, as long as the app is able to access the downloaded file that should work.
