It actually got me thinking on whether or not what you suggest (with the refurb Clara HD) would work with just the Kobo app or desktop software. I did a quick search, but it looks like it does not work like that with the app. It would be really cool if they have done that. Even doing the sync between the Libby app and the older Kobos would be really helpful.

I'm still very happy with my Aura H2O; even the battery is still lasting me a week or so with an average 1-2 hrs/day reading. So I want to explore if the DeASCM and DeDRM options will work for me. I know I can search the forums, but if you have a link handy, it would probably save me time.

Again, thank you very much.
If you don't have Calibre, you start with that by downloading it from...

https://calibre-ebook.com/

...and installing it.

For DeDRM you to to this site (this is basically all I can say about using it here, just a link to where you can get it, but they have forums there for questions).

https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/

For DeASCM you go to the Calibre forums, plugins on this site, plugins sub-forum, ASCM sub-sub-forum...

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=341975

You'll find a link to the author's GitHub site and a download link (also information about it in the messages).

Once you've set up these two plugins, you can drag an .ascm file into Calibre and it will automatically download the ePub book and clear the DRM. No ADE needed (though you're basically doing the same thing, except with Calibre). Once you use DeDRM you've gone a step further. You can disable DeDRM if you want and just use DeASCM.
