Could it be that Kobo is simply not providing download links for EPUB3 books that have DRM, either accidentally or on purpose?

More to the point, can anyone add more data points to help clarify the hypothesis?
I have bought quite a few books recently, but did not have this problem - which publisher is it in your case? Can you read the previews?
