In the terms linked to in the first post there was this:

Kobo will encrypt all Subscription eBooks using Kobo’s proprietary digital rights management technology and no other method.

so you won't be able to download the books with ADE like you can from a public library or with a book purchased from Kobo, but you should be able to download it to the Kobo desktop application on a PC. I don't know whether you will be able to transfer from the desktop app to an ereader like you can with a purchased book, but I don't see why they would disallow that. You might need up-to-date firmware on your ereader though, they might have only added functions to deal with subscription books recently.
