I've managed to do it...

It seems that a lot is happening regarding using or trnasferring to and through different devices.

I have waited for a way to boorow book when travelling and send them to my authorized kobo. I tried the portable ADE which worked fine, but I had to use a guest computer. The best would be to be able to use my phone. And I find a way now.

I borrow drm books from my local library and transfer them trhough calibre to my kobo glo hd. I have a special folder for the books.

Today I installed the ADE on my Android phone (samsung S5 with 6.1 Marsmallow version) and at first I had some problems. I borrowed a book from my library through web browser on the phone. The ascm file is downloaded to the download folder. Opening the ascm file from that folder didn't download the actual book, but when I moved the ascm file to the Digital Edition folder and opened it, then voila, the app downloaded and opened the book.

I then connected my Kobo to the phone through the OTG cable and a usb cable. The phone then works as a computer to which I can connect usb devices like the ereader. I then copy/move the authorized book to the root folder on the kobo. Which seems to work fine. I can open the book.
