If the version of the book is matched, the Kobo/Overdrive experience is much, much nicer. But you can't borrow or buy an Adobe DRM'd ePub directly on a Kobo. Tolinos (and apparently a PocketBooks. I can't personally vouch for the PocketBook models) allow you to use the built-in browser to log into your library account and directly download and authorize a Adobe DRM ePub. I've also found several online eBook stores (that use Adobe DRM) where you can buy books directly with your Tolino or Pocketbook. Excruciatingly slow on the built-in browsers, however. But it's better than nothing as I don't have ADE on my Linux computer.
