Lynx-lynx & GeoffR -- odd. I'm not getting download options for either NZ or AU. I'm looking at NZ through both Firefox & Chrome (other countries only through Chrome, as it allows me to re-geolocate myself easily). Admittedly, I'm looking at all these sites in non-logged-in mode -- I don't know if that makes any difference.

It's actually not true: the Harry Potter books do have DRM, in the form of watermarking. It's erroneous to equate "DRM" with "encryption".

Captivated by You (as listed in the links I gave above) -- it happened to be on the NZ/AU/US versions of the Kobo front page, so was convenient for comparison.

Below is a pic. There's no blackberry icon and that's usually a prime determinant as to whether it's a kepub or not. I mean apart from the fact that now Kobo has reinstalled format info - and that book doesn't show any. |

Maybe, to avoid confusion, we should differentiate between DRM and good, old fashioned "Copy Protection."

So Kobo (i) doesn't show file type for kepubs & (ii) e-publishes Captivated by You only in some geolocations as kepub. As I said, really bizarre. Makes one feel one needs a secret decoder ring to interpret their pages. I haven't actually bought anything off Kobo yet, but now that Diesel has closed down, I may well do so in the future. |
