I use Linux too, so that would be a really nice feature :-)

As long as your library supplies the ebook using Adobe's Content Server, a Tolino is able to download the ebook. Basically, if you connect with a browser and the library offers an .acsm file as the download, it will work.

Can anyone with an Aura One (or a regular Kobo) test this please?

The Aura One downloads the book from the Kobo store
IF the Kobo store and the library have the same version (basically, check the ISBN). It will not download directly from the library using .acsm files.

I have an Aura One and an epos. Basically, I find the epos software to have fewer features and lesser implementations of the features it does have. For instance, Kobo offers much better font size control and will remember the font you prefer when opening a new ebook, supports epub3 and epub3 fixed layout, has finer grained margin control, etc. OTOH, some Tolino features such as hold the power button to get a power off, restart or take screenshot menu are nice to have.
