One note on the KA1's Overdrive support. The books are supplied from Kobo and not from the library. I've run into several books where Kobo does not have the book so I still needed ADE to download the book and transfer it to my KA1.

Another potential issue is that not all libraries use Overdrive so your library may not allow you to borrow directly to your KA1. One library that I had a out of state (well, out of country) card with switched their backend to CloudLibrary (I think) which made the Overdrive support useless for them.
