Excellent question. Kobo books can be downloaded in 2 ways, (neither of which require ADE)
1. Install the DeACSM plugin in Calibre. From your books on Kobo website, download the .acsm file, and add that file to Calibre. Calibre will download the e-pub for you, without adobe software.
2. Install the Kobo Desktop application. All your books will sync and download. (Technically, these books will be an what we call kepub format. But kepub is still epub, and wil work in any epub compliant reader/software.)
Personally, I like Method 1, because it works form my Linux desktop without mussing with Windows Virtual Machines or Wine Emulation.
Whichever of these methods you use, you will still need drm removal plugin, but details are not allowed to be discussed on these public forums.
