Thanks, maybe I should clarify.

My question isn't regarding if the onyx can hande adobe drm for reading books. That I'm sure it can do (as pretty much any e-reader (besides Kindle) can).

What I'm curious about is if the Onyx, as an android device, can accept an ascm-file from a library site, decode it and fetch the book.

Apps like Aldiko and Bluefire reader can do those things. They are android apps. Onyx is running Android. But, many apps doesn't handle e-ink very well, and many need newer android versions that v4.

It would be very helpful if someone with an Onyx could go to the play store, see if they can install Aldiko and/or Bluefire reader and if they seem to function ok on e-ink.
