For me, using Kobo saves a step converting formats to get the epub I want. As a Canadian, I also have access to KoboPlus which is much the same as Kindle Unlimited but does not force an author to be exclusive to Kobo. This results in quite a few more books by authors I want to read being available though a good chunk of this is due to Open Road Media's SF&F collection. OTOH, my wife likes authors such as Rachel Morgan and her Creepy Hollow and Elemental series.

The DRM used by Kobo for their ebooks synced to their desktop app or an ereader is handled by the Obok plugin which still works in calibre 5 while the DRM used by downloading from their site is the standard Adobe DRM for those books that have DRM.
