As for Kindle, yes, I have the old ones and I always go with download to USB. It is a pity that there is no such option with epubs and that you have to open .ascm file in something instead of just downloading epub file and directly importing it to Caliber. But then Adobe wouldn't earn that much, I guess.
I've found about half of the epubs I download from Kobo do not have DRM. Of course, they come with those GUID stylenames like synced kepubs but they do have the epub extension.

As for turning on the newer DRM, the local library system plans on avoiding that as long as possible -- just too many systems that do not support the hardened DRM still in use and they don't want the headache of dealing with the inevitable complaints.
