Of course we have a standard. In fact lots of them. As long as you don't need to support DRM, HTTP is the obvious transmission protocol. In fact, even if you do have DRM, HTTP is fine.
I just tried a Project Gutenberg epub book from the Kobo Vox web browser -- download failed. Same story for Baen Free Library. Surely some kind of stupidity on the Kobo end. No trouble with my Firefox on Linux browser though (only tried Gutenberg).
Is there a way to simply download Gutenberg stuff with the Vox? Some of Gutenberg is available through the Kobo store, but I don't like to be forced to use it.
