I believe it's always been that way. Papers / Magazines seem to be licensed for ONLY mobile device usage; not for Desktop.

I think the idea was probably that the Papers / Magazines want you to either pay their access fees (New York Times for instance) or view their advertising content, and that allowing people to use Kobo Desktop to read would remove those other income streams.
