That may be 100% true, but it's also completely beside the point. The problem is the lack of a download button, remember?

ETA: Also, since it appears that all new Orbit books are being built as EPUB3, this is not a problem that will simply go away. Kobo needs to fix their site, simple as that. Plus, the more big publishers/imprints start adopting EPUB3 (Orbit's part of Hachette), the more reason there is for readers to support it. Just saying "EPUB3 probably looks bad anyway" is completely unhelpful "sour grapes" thinking.
