I am attracted to the KA1 because it short circuits much of that, but I don't want to lose the option to browse the library on a big PC screen and make selections that way, for later checkout.
and I like to know how stuff works, before i use it. I just about understand the adobe ID & licence file system, but the new-ish overdrive app is a back box at present

The process I described above does not change the PC browsing experience for content. You can still wish list and checkout content from your library's Web page.
The process does eliminate the need for ADE as you simply sync your KA1 and the book arrives. This was a big selling point for me as I liked the bigger reading screen of the KA1 compared to Kindle offerings and the ease of checking out books via Overdrive.

We'd probably stick with that system - it goes library -> my PC [ overdrive for Windows] -> USB stick ->her car- listen & delete when done.

The KA1 doesn't have Overdrive support for playing audio content.
I just use the overdrive app on my smartphone to play the audio book that I checked out via the library's Web page. I can use headphones for personal listening or an auxiliary cable to playback for everyone through the vehicle's sound system.
