Yes, that's right. The Borders site actually said it had a Desktop and an epub version of the book, but it's only after you've added to your library and get to the download screen that I found out there was only the option to download the desktop version.

I think it was a mistake on the Borders site to say that the epub is available even though it wasn't.

Oh well, I was just testing out Borders to see what the experience was like, so I tried it with one of their free books first. But it wasn't good since I don't like having to stick with reading on the Kobo/Borders Appz.

I think I am more happy with other ebook sellers that allow you to select the format you want before it's added to your cart and that you get to download a physical file. I like to be able to transfer the file freely between the computer and the various mobile devices.
