Kobo Downloads / Verso Books - A Problem
I bought a Verso title from Kobo books. I've used Kobo a lot, and usually find the service excellent. However, apparently Verso have insisted on a different deal with Kobo, and their books don't download in the normal way.
In fact, as far as I can see, they don't download at all. I've contacted Kobo, and been told to use the drop-down menu on the My Library page to check that I've purchased the book. There is no drop down menu, although my account confirms that the book has been purchased. I've been trying to re-contact Kobo today, but I'm just getting a reply saying that my account is being used by someone else! Anyone got any advice? For the moment, I'd say don't buy Verso from Kobo.

Did you look in Kobo Desktop? It sounds like the books are in kepub format.

Check to see if it is only available as pdf. Kobo does not highlight well when the ebook you are buying is only .pdf. I bought a ebook from Kobo that cost$1.09 CDN$ that turned out to be .pdf only. It is hard tracking it down.

Sorry to sound stupid, but where is the Kobo desktop? I still can't download the damn thing, and I still can't ask Kobo for more information.

Do you mean how do you find the PDF books in the Kobo store? If so, no idea. When you look at a book, there is info on where you can read the books. I have never seen anything that indicates if the book is only a PDF. |
