@JohnF, every book I purchased from Kobo was available to download in several formats, none of which had DRM. I was free to download .epub files with my browser (Chrome) which saved them to disk. A simple drag and drop into iTunes and they are load right up into iBooks. No, you can't buy on the iPad itself and save it somehow from Kobo into iBooks. At least not yet.

You might want to go back to the Kobo site, you can download your purchases at any time, and see what your options are. It might vary from book to book or I could just be lucky.
