What if you buy it with DRM, and then download the content from an illegal source? Since you own the content already, does the file you downloaded become less illegal? Kind of like making a backup copy of a CD you bought?
Any Slickdeals lawyers out there? Haha.
(Or more simply, just borrow the books from the local library. Mine have gotten into ebook lending too)
Has anyone been able to figure out how to read them on a Kindle. Had no clue what Kobo was when I purchased it

...It then proceeds to demo how to use Calibre for the rest of the process.
A few things to note that might make life easier later - Back up your Adobe Digital Editions Entitlement stuff (Preferences -> Plugins -> DeACSM (double click) -> Export *). It's hard/annoying to recover it later if you switch computers or uninstall ADE.
To make metadata updating easier, I suggest installing the Kindle Hi-res covers plugin. Update the metadata manually for books and set identifier to "asin:B########". Grab the ASIN from Amazon listing for the kindle book, should be something like "B000W9399S".
You will also want to install the Goodreads plugin to get proper metadata.
Once you have that all set, Calibre should be able to get the correct metadata and covers for the books for exporting. You can skip all this though if you don't care for metadata and covers.
EDIT:
The dude in the video I linked is using something different from the DeACSM Calibre plugin...my bad. Follow instructions from the DeACSM plugin README directly instead:

You'll also want a DRM removal plugin. This one seems popular:
https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_to...edrm
I think it's actually a lot easier that way. You can drag and drop the .acsm files from kobo directly to Calibre and it will download the epub and strip DRM automatically for you. No need to even download or open ADE.
