Edited to add how I fixed this.

First of all, I made sure I had a downloaded copy of this book already on my laptop.

On my Vox, I long pressed the book and chose to remove the book. I then went to my Kobo account and looked at my purchases list. The book showed up. I went to my library on the web page, book was there. From that page, chose the "purchased link" and chose to place a bookmark in the book. I then refreshed my Vox library. It took 2 tries, but the book downloaded and not as a preview.

I didn't have to log out of anything to do this, just remove the book from the Vox library and refreshed it. When I removed it from the Vox library, it was not removed from the library at the Kobo website. I don't have a Kobo desktop app, nor do I plan to get one. The only reader apps I have on my laptop are the Sony app and the Kindle app, as well as Adobe Digital Editions. The Sony app is not their latest one, I read that people were having problems with it, so I just stuck with the old one and its working just fine.

This is the second time I've had to do this since the update. It would be a nuisance for someone with a lot of Kobo purchases.
Today I was having trouble with the ebook I was reading showing up as a Free Preview - your fix worked - first try! Thank you!
