Kobos also usually need a computer to transfer books.
You can transfer eBooks you borrow from Overdrive via WiFi with a Kobo. They come from Kobo's server(s) in KePub.

But you do need WiFI and an email address. I don't know how good Kobo would do with handling email via the browser or which free email address would be best to get. Then without WiFi, you won't know when your eBooks are ready to borrow.

That's why I suggested a tablet that also has cell service to be able to do email& Overdrive. With Libby, you can also listen to audiobooks from Overdrive.
