Can I buy Kobo ebooks for my PRS-600?

Both Borders and Angus & Robertson in Australia will (or are) selling EPUB ebooks for the Kobo.
Can I buy these ebooks and put them on my PRS-600, or is there DRM incompatibility?

Borders state on their website that the epub books they sell can be read by any Adobe DRM capable e-ink reader however only the Kobo reader can use their application. All other brands need Adobe DE installed and you download them from your elibrary after logging into the website. Which is exactly the same as any other ebookstore except the Sony store of course where you have to use Sony app.

I've bought lots of Kobo books for my Sony 505 with no problem. I especially like the fact they also automatically download to my iPhone. Don't know how this works in Oz though.
