That is explicitly disallowed by the app store guidelines:

11.14 Apps can read or play approved content (specifically magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video) that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app, as long as there is no button or external link in the app to purchase the approved content. Apple will not receive any portion of the revenues for approved content that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app.

The message from Kobo confirmed that this has been taken to include a reference to the external website, even if the reference was not a clickable link.
