Hi, I'm considering buying an Era.

I used to own a Kobo Libra and my main misgiving about replacing it with a Pocket Book (BW Libras seem impossible to find anymore) is having to go through the hassle of buying my books elsewhere and then deDRMing and moving them to the Pocketbook, so I wonder just how much of a hassle that really is. Since that's of course relative, I'll say I'm rather lazy and my computer literacy about average.

- Does it involve using two different applications?
- Once you're familiar with the process, how long does it normally take?
- Can it realistically be done with a rather full, mid-rangeish smartphone?
- Can a whole Kobo library (not a large one) be processed at a time or do I have to go book by book?
- Is the process the same with Google Books?

Also, one feature I loved about Kobo was its ability to almost instantaneously receive an article I was reading online via the Pocket app. Is there a quick way to do the same with Pocketbook?

That's all for now. Thanks
