It is very rare indeed for a book sold by Kobo (unless it is a fixed format book for the Vox reader) NOT to have an ePUB option to download into Adobe's ADE program and then transfer to readers that support that format. They generally have DRM, but it is the kind of DRM that people seem to routinely remove (google Apprentice Alf) and then change the format to one that can be used on the Kindle using a program like Caibre.

When you buy a book from Kobo, the page that the sale completion generates has a blue button to download the ePUB. The same button is present on the library listings for books bought on the Kobo website.
