Not true. Perhaps I should have been clearer. It had been downloaded to my desktop computer, which has a different ADE account, registered under my second e-mail address, thanks to an Adobe screw-up (never mind the details; it caused me pain for days, with costly international phone calls to Adobe in the US).
Thus when I tried to download it on my laptop, with ADE registered to my primary e-mail, I couldn't install it on my Reader, since it said "registered to a different account".
Once you have downloaded a DRM-protected epub onto a computer with one ADE account, you are prevented from installing that same epub on a computer with a different ADE account. That's why I say be careful. In any case, gifting does seem to be the foolproof option if one is unsure.
So, yes, Kobo did me a big favor when I explained the situation, and re-set the original file so I could download it on my laptop.
