I don't want to find out after making a purchase that I can only get a kepub. If it was only a delay, that would be one thing, but it's not clear if that is the case.

Edit: For what it's worth, I decided to take my chances due to the 50% off promo, and for my first book, I got an EPUB download link that I could use with Adobe Digital Editions, so I'm satisfied so far.
I think I've read somewhere else that some new releases are only available as a kepub because it takes some time to deal with something related to the epub, but not long after one should be able to see the epub file available in the Kobo purchase history.
