The other problem is DRM. Kobo use their own DRM and what you are seeing the still encrypted content. This is one of the reasons it hasn't been worthwhile copying the files from the device. But, some of them don't have any DRM and can be treated as epubs. There is some info about Kobo's DRM if you look at Apprentice Alf's page.
Personally, I simply download the epub version for any books I buy from Kobo. These I can read with ADE and should be readable on other ereaders that can handle Adobe DRM. Or Apprentice Alf can help. I also normally load these onto my Glo and read them. I don't like the way the page numbers are handled with kepubs or that the book title is always displayed. Plus if the book is DRM free, I fix an errors in the text and formatting.

I thought the DeDRM plugin worked for kepubs I bought, but looking at it in Calibre, I saw it was only "adobe adept including kobo", whatever that is.
I'll just drop the Kobo site which I used only to avoid converting from the amazon formats, when I couldn't find a decently priced epub version. It is ok to spend 5' (ok 10) fixing tocs after conversion, not having to spend a lot of time solving major text problems, which also means one can't help reading some at the same time.
PS: It is always instructive to dig some, and learn more - thanks to you all
