I sent an email and Kobo was very sorry I did not succeed in transferring the book to my ereader, but I had to look on their website (where it is nowhere made clear that 'ereader' means only their own type and is not generally used) and I could not get a refund. I was really angry, for I already own the book in paper and I am not in need of a desktop version on my home computer. I wanted an e-version, to read it on holiday.

Actually, the problem is that you didn't do your research prior to buying the book and/or Kindle. Kobo sells ebooks for any ereader that supports ePub. Kindle is the odd reader out because they want to lock in customers with a proprietary DRM scheme. Not doing your research seems like a very poor excuse for piracy.
