Be careful; when you buy a book from the Kobo site and download via the Touch (or Kobo Desktop) you're not actually getting an ePub version; rather, you are getting what we have nicknamed a kePub. This is ONLY viewable via a Kobo device or application. You can easily tell that what you are reading is in this format by the page # display; the (X) of (Y) within the chapter.
To get an actual ePub version you need to go to the
http://kobobooks.com website, logon with your ID / password, and then head the to the
My Library link. Once there, the
Purchased tab will list all the books you have bought. Along side each one should be a
Download ePub format button that will download an
ACSM file, that when opened will invoke
Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) to download the DRM protected ePub.
If you then transfer this via ADE onto your Kobo and open it, the page number will be (X) of (Y) within the book!
