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

With my local library, I can checkout a book and sync it to my KA1. After doing this, if I go to the library, the book shows up as still being downloadable. At one point, I could see my KA1/Kobo as being linked to my account but the recent updates to Overdrive has removed that information (or at least moved it to an area I haven't yet discovered).

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

No audio books for the KA1 as yet though with Kobo now offering audio books, I would not be surprised to see an add-on similar to the one used by Amazon to allow audio books.
