Once you have the EPUB downloaded with ADE, can you just add the EPUB to Calibre to strip the DRM, or do you need to extract your ADE key from somewhere and enter it into Calibre manually, first?

You won't need to enter the key manually. And you can still have kepub features if you want to try them. The KoboTouch Extended Driver for Calibre will convert your epubs to kepubs on the fly while sending the books to your Kobo, without cluttering your library with converted copies. You can switch between it and the ordinary Kobo driver, to try out both epub and kepub format.

I see. I guess I'll avoid Amazon for the time being. My main PC is Windows 7, so I figured I'd need to use Linux to access modern Calibre features, since I don't want to hex edit the Calibre 5 installers to make them run. I see that only Calibre 4.99 is available in the Linux Mint 20 repositories, so I guess even on Linux my Calibre version may be too old to do what I need it to do?
