Hopeful that Kobo ereaders will continue to have easy public library borrowing

Perhaps they did?
According to the last paragraph on this support page:
https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/6251.htm
"Note: Although the OverDrive app is being discontinued in 2023, Kobo devices with built-in OverDrive functionality won't be affected. You can continue borrowing and reading OverDrive ebooks on these devices as usual."
Wonder if doing so will require remaining logged into one's Kobo account on the device and upgrading the device's firmware or operating system?
(Also: helpful to review the rest of that support page.)
