Well, it seems that if you have free books already downloaded, in your desktop application or upon your reader, and they have synced as recently as yesterday...if you try to open up any of them yesterday, or today, they all come up as either 'locked' or 'corrupted'.

Do NOT sync your desktop or any of your e-readers...as this will also occur to you!!!

Others have also reported it in the general Kobo Reader Forum.

Be warned!

Post Edit: If this has happened to you already, you have to LOG OUT of your desktop, and then LOG BACK IN. This will delete your entire collection, and then will have a complete re-sync of everything. What a PITA! BTW, this works. I just did it, and all free downloads now open normally.
