The books will not have ADE encryption. If they have encryption, it will be Kobo's DRM which is easily enough removable. You could copy the kepub directory from inside the .kobo directory and rename the files inside the directory from guid lookalike to guid lookalike.epub and then try opening them to see which are encrypted.

As far as I recall, in an earlier thread, the books were in multiple languages and showed up when the ereader was set up in sideloaded mode.
