Likewise for a Kobo purchased epub.

On an Android device you can read Kindle books in the Kindle app and Kepub books in the Kobo app and Onleihe Care DRM in the Onleihe app and Adobe DRM books in various other apps - I use the Pocketbook app.
There are many DRM encryption methods, but for most of them a special app.
And I read all of them on my Android EInk devices (Boox, Likebook, Tolino), although I have both Kindles and Kobos.

Using downloadable Android ereaders like the ones you mentioned or Moon+ and the like, is the performance good on the Poke 2? Or does it suffer compared to the Boox reading app?

The Boox reading app is also an Android app and in terms of performance there is no difference to other reading applications - I do not use it because it does not display left-aligned.

I watched an hour long video review of the Poke 2 that made it look pretty appealing. I may order one. I do like reading on the Kobo devices, though, particularly the Libra H2O using KOReader. So I should keep that in mind in that I find myself using the Clara HD less often than I thought I would and it's the same size as the Poke 2.

But that's not because of the performance, but because of the size.
The Poke2 is the most portable device I know - small and light; I always have it with me; on the way I also use it to read mail and surf the internet and the predecessor, the Poke Pro, as a glare-free navigation system in the car.
The Boox and Likebook devices can move graphics smoothly (A2 mode).
At home, I also continue reading with larger devices, preferably with the "Likebook Ares" (7.8 inches) - synchronized via WiFi.
