And this is probably one of the most persistent myths about the Kobo -that it is somehow less amenable to "turn on, buy, read". Out of the box, with zero customisation, tweaks or hacks, the exact process you describe works on a Kobo. Except that the "0.00" option is more limited on Kobo, and the equivalent of KU is only in a few markets. The fact that it CAN be more easily modded doesn't make its core functionality one iota more complicated than that of a Kindle. Turn it on, buy a book, read.
