Not really. They'll mostly all allow you to sideload DRM books via ADE, but no dedicated e-readers with ADE built in (Sony used to, but I'm not sure if that was just for library books). Android tablets or if you put android onto an e-ink reader might get you there.
And just to be clear, you can get your epub books from pretty much anywhere, but as you've discovered, for DRM books you need to use ADE on a computer to put them onto your Kobo.
For non-DRM books you should be able to download directly to a Kobo (or others) via the web browser for the most part (some don't work depending how the link is set up since the browser is somewhat limited).
