a list comes up with a picture of the book on the left, some written information in the middle and the price on the right. The information above is found at the bottom of the written information.

Any book that is written EPUB (DRM-free) should be fine with backups and reading on any epub device.

Other companies should have a similar setup for whether something is DRM or DRM-free.
Something similar for books purchased from the iBookstore:

Go to iTunes, find the book and use the Get Info option on it, if it says Book or Purchased Book then it will be DRM free. If it says Protected Book then it contains Apple's (Fairplay - fairly sure that's what it's known as) DRM.

Therefore, if it's the former, you should be able to reveal the book in Finder / Explorer and then copy the resulting ePub / PDF file onto your Kobo Device / Kobo App.
