To me, Kobo has a major advantage with the “warm toned” backlight on the Clara HD. I switched from kindle just for that. On kobo, the dedrm process involves installing the kobo desktop software (windows/Mac only), which syncs the books to your desktop. From there you can snatch the ebook from the file manager and put it in calibre. There’s an “obok” dedrm plug-in. If you switch from kindle to anything else, you will lose the ability to download your kindle purchases. You need an active kindle account/device to download ebooks from the kindle library (this wasn’t always the case).
