I downloaded some of the "free books" off the Kobo site, some more of the classics which they've got from Project Gutenberg. A couple of them were absolute junk, had obviously been scanned in with optical character recognition which didn't recognize the characters. They're unreadable.
For your reading pleasure, I've attached a screen shot of the first page of "The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel"- it's actually quite funny, in an annoying sort of way.

So just FYI- if anyone is into reading classics, you're better off going straight to Project Gutenberg than getting them via the Kobo site.
