Where do I do this? Where's the folder of these books in ePub format from which I can copy and then paste elsewhere?
Thanks.

I could tell you exactly where the folder is, however, do you expect the files in this folder to be DRM free? If so then they won't be, well, with a few exceptions (Free ebooks and the Harry Potter books). So even if you do pull the files from the device you cannot do anything with them, they are NOT using AdobeDRM, they are kepub files, i.e.; Kobo's own encryption.
If you pull the files off you cannot simply side-load them back via iTunes, well, you can, but they won't be readable as they are encrypted (the app isn't designed to have kepub's files side-loaded, the idea is they are downloaded as part of the library when you sign in to the app)
If you have the files and put on a clean copy of the app and add the files back to the folder where you copied them from, again, they still won't work, the app will not see them (or that was the case when I last tried this), again, it is not designed to work that way.
If you simply want a copy of the encrypted files, which as mentioned above, won't be much use to you, then let me know and I'll tell you, via Private Message under a request not to disclose the location (I'm unsure as to wether telling people where things are stored will be frowned upon, hence why I'm not publicly mentioning it) where to find the files.
