I don't think you can get Hoopla to work on the PocketBook (as mentioned by others).
PocketBooks handle standard Overdrive borrowing well. There are three options. You can use the browser in the Era to directly borrow and download the .ascm file. The Era has ADE built-in, so (once you've logged into Adobe on your Era) you just "open" (download) the .ascm file from the eReader. No ADE on your computer needed. Using the E-Ink browser is slow, but works in a pinch.
Or you can download the .ascm file to your computer or smartphone and send it, via email, using the built-in app "Send-to-Pocketbook." Depending on how busy the PocketBook site is, this can take 10 to 15 minutes to arrive -- though I usually get them sooner than that.
Or you can download the .ascm file to your computer and move it over to the PocketBook with a USB cable. Once there (in all three options) the PocketBook does the job of "converting" (downloading) the ePub file using the .ascm file as the "key." (At least that's the way I think of it.)
Sorry the news couldn't be better in connection to Hoopla.
