For initial ease of use, the following makes sense:

1. Purchase file, import into Calibre, deal with DRM issues in calibre (using obok plug-in if file was in kepub format from Kobo, if file was in epub format, otherwise use the "regular" DeDRM plugin.)

2. Use installed "document viewer".
2.a If desired, modify to show "full page" (i.e., no header/footer).
2.b Once I get comfortable, evaluate KSM, Koreader, etc.


Does that sound about right?

Thanks again!

Dino
That is correct. Basically, kepub is a minor variant on epub.

Sounds very good. Basically, use the ereader, get used to it and then decide if you want to use alternate software, patch the firmware, etc. Some people want to make changes, others are happy with the factory setup. It's very nice to have the choice.
