Here is an easy way to distinguish epub, kepub and pdf ebooks before you buy them. This works about 95%+ of the time. Go to the "Read this On" section located on the bottom right corner of the ebook page. If the Read this On has Blackberry then it is an epub (full line: DESKTOP, eREADERS, ANDROID, TABLETS, IOS, BLACKBERRY, WINDOWS). If Blackberry is absent, DESKTOP, eREADERS, ANDROID, TABLETS, IOS, WINDOWS then it is a very good chance it is a kepub or an open epub (not always, but most of the time). If the Read this On section is blank then it is likely a pdf. This has been a very reliable way to tell them apart, works for me. Note this works only on the new Kobo websites.
If in doubt contact Kobo Customer service. The more people who bitch about this the more likely they will change it and we can save some money  .

The same read this on for both kepub and open epub means I can't possibly know if I can read this on my ereader. I can read open epub but not kepub. A pdf can also be read on a computer, but the book shows that it can't be read on anything. This just doesn't work.
This is off topic, so I probably shouldn't continue to reply.
