There's no place that reliably specifies the file type. If you don't see
anything under "READ THIS ON" (you'll normally see Desktop, Ereaders, Android, etc), then it's likely a PDF. If it doesn't include "Blackberry", then it's likely kepub only and can only be read with Kobo software (I got burned on that one today, but for eighty cents, I'm not going to bother complaining). The most reliable way to tell is to add a preview of the book. If it's an epub, you'll see "EPUB (DRM-free)" or "Adobe DRM EPUB" in "Download options" under the cover image. Not all books allow previews, though, so sometimes you still have to guess.
