I'm not too familiar with the archive.org books, but the list of download links is bewildering and unhelpful. They almost all appear to be fragments of the book. Right down at the bottom of the list of download links on the left-hand side of the page is one called "DjVu" with a size of (22.7 M).

DjVu files that contain embedded text can be converted to other formats with Calibre. Depending on the content of that DjVu file, trying that conversion might give you useful results.

Alternatively, you could read the DjVu file using a reader on another platform. Check the "External links" section of the DjVu page on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu. This is not helpful in providing a method to read the book on your Kobo, but would allow you to read the book.
