This takes you to Kobo's "My Purchased Items" area; a list of all books you have bought from Kobo. Next to most (if not all books) will be either a button "ADOBE DRM EPUB" or "DOWNLOAD EPUB".
Clicking the "ADOBE DRM EPUB" will download an ACSM file, which in turn when you open that file will launch ADE (Adobe Digitai Edition) to download the DRM protected ePub.
Clicking the "DOWNLOAD EPUB" will download an ePub directly; it is possible that this will not download with the epub extension but rather with a ZIP extension. If it does have the ZIP extension just rename it to have the ePub extension. |
This does NOT make any sense, and is the dumbest way this could be managed. I have Kobo and all my books inside it on TWO devices: iPad (which syncs with iTunes) and the desktop reader on my OSX. The books are right here, locally. Why can't I simply see them clearly, like files, instead of ONE BY ONE downloading them from the website? Why? What logic is that? I have paid for each and every single book. They belong to me. The copyright etc logic is BS -- I paid to own the book and the copyright etc allow me to read and consume it in any way I want -- as I could with a real book.
Please, Kobo, inject some basic human common sense into your functionality.
