I was given store credit for Philip K. Dick's
The Man in the High Castle and Lois Lowry's
The Giver after explaining to CS chat that I read epubs on an eink Sony.
No Adobe download link and neither appeared in the Desktop app, which I checked several times. Both are Houghton Mifflin Harcourt editions available in Adobe epub from the Sony store. Oddly, a week or so later *both* titles downloaded to the Desktop when I synced my new Mini (which I love BTW).
Very much preferred the old stated format system also. Though Kobo was great about handling the situation quickly, I'm not interested in buying any kepub-only books.
ETA - Looks like all the titles are from Houghton Mifflin, excepting HarleyB's which shows as a pre-order on the US site. Is this maybe a publisher requirement Kobo has to abide by?
I'm hoping not - I sold my Nook tablet and stopped buying B&N books when I realized they had locked me out from accessing my own books on my device. I choose not to support companies that deliberately implement DRM in a user-unfriendly way against legitimate purchasers.
