Do I need to wrangle with Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 on a Windows PC to use those files or can the Kobo (or PocketBook) handle those things on their own?
Assuming you don't want to take out the DRM:

- With Kobo, you need ADE (Desktop) to redeem the epub from the acsm file, and then you can sideload the epub file to your Kobo (which needs to be authorized with your Adobe ID).

- With PocketBook (I'm not sure if this feature is available for all their models or only on some), you can sideload the acsm file directly to the device and (as long as it's connected to wifi+authorized with Adobe ID) it will redeem the epub file.
