Well, this proves that Kobos Customer Care in North America is way better than in Europe (Netherlands or Belgium).

In the past few week I have heard/read serveral complaints about:
  1. missing (wrong) book information; no warning that books can only be read with Kobo apps and not on ereaders.
  2. books that couldn't be downloaded (just like you)

Contacting Kobo Customer service response about:
missing (wrong) book information
* offering no solution
* not offering refund
* not offering a free discount coupon for the inconvenience.

download issues
* not fixing or investigating download issues.
* not offering refund
* not offering a free discount coupon for the inconvenience.

First response of Kobo Customer Care is useless: not addressing the issue, or denying the issue. In short: not investigating the issue.

Customers must be persistent to Kobo to fix their issues.
Second Kobo respond:
* same answer as first response (no refund, no fix for download issues)
* note: in some cases Kobo offered a 20%-30% discount code; but did not refund the purchased book or fix download issues.

Contacting Kobo for a third time:
* finally they offered a refund
* not offering a discount coupon for the inconvenience.
