i use kobobooks so not sure how borders works but i'm guessing its the same way.
i highly doubt there is a way to download the book off of the site and load it to the kobo.
by having it online or through the desktop app only they can lock parts of the book and let you read the quick preview in hopes that you fully purchase it, at which point you can download and send to the device.

Yeah, I mean the first couple chapters that you can download for free by clicking on "preview." I'm used to the kindle iPhone app, where I can download a bunch of free previews, read them at my leisure, and decide which one I'd like to read next.
I was hoping to be able to put a few on my Kobo. Seems kind of ridiculous that this can't be done, as the previews are an essential part of the book-buying process. When I buy a paper book, I open it up and read the first few pages to see if I'll like it. If a book is sealed in plastic so I can't see it, I usually won't buy it because I don't know what I'm getting. Same with ebooks.
