If Kobo had a wireless transfer like the Kindle email option, I would have considered staying with Kobo.
That is my opinion as well.

I'm glad people take the time to make anti DRM software, and those who want to crack their eBooks should have the right to do so. I just don't see the added value behind it.
Tell that to all the people who have lost access to their books thanks to businesses that promised them forever-access then closed their doors, sometimes abruptly.

It doesn't matter what reader I have or where I buy from: every ebook is going through disinfection and Calibre management.

This. Same here. I have owned Bookeen, BeBook, Kindle en various Kobo readers, and any book I buy gets DRM-stripped on import into Calibre.

That's OK by me. But I'm not likely to do that.

Is Calibre then able to remove the DRM from Kindle books? I see the point of a supplier closing and the books being lost, something I think to consider in these days of suddenly-disappearing brands/companies.

By itself, nope. However, there are plugins available to accomplish the task.
