I wonder if this will continue to be the case, or whether Kobo will only offer LCPL downloads in the future, and ACSM will be kept only for library loans. Since Kobo is continuing to keep RMSDK in the firmware, perhaps that means both formats will be available from the Kobo website.
If Kobo only offers LCP and drops the current DRM for KePub, what could happen is that a lot of people will have eBooks on their Kobo that they would no longer be able to read and any bookmarks, highlights, last read page would all be lost. Also, the Kobo Mini's official firmware is does not have LCP.

My question is, will Kobo switch to LCP for KePub or will we get a choice or will they not implement LCP at kobo.com?

Overdrive has been pushing the Libby app for several years now.

IIRC, the Overdrive integration with Kindle and Kobo use their native DRM, not Adept.

Overdrive does use Adept DRM when you download the ePub. You don't have to sync from Kobo.
