Here's the kicker. As many of you know, they don't tell you the format before you buy. They are nice enough however to warn you about it when you click the download PDF link after buying.
I got caught out once too. But now I mostly (only mostly) look at the "eBook Information" section on the bottom left. It states whether it is going to be delivered as an ePub or a PDF. Like this one in here:

The book itself is actually readable as a PDF on Aura, and on Amazon the same book is available as a mobi (they have some books that they will only sell as PDFs too). It pays to be super careful when shopping on Kobo's website not only becoz of this but often they have the same book available several times over at different prices.
