Yet I can go to other websites and download the same book to ADE. Hmm any help here.

That is a much-discussed Kobo issue: they don't tell you which format a book is in before purchase. Some are only available as kepubs so you can only get them on your reader by synchronizing with Kobo Desktop. Others (I think those that have neither "eReaders" nor "Blackberry" listed under "Read this on") will work only on tablets.
The only way to determine if a book is available as a standard epub is getting a sample. If that shows as "Adobe Epub" in your library, you are on the safe side. It's a royal PITA, and I once thought that by contacting customer service about the format of every single book I wanted to buy, I could get them to provide proper format info again, but Kobo's vogonesque obliviousness to reasonable customer demands has won, and I stopped doing that.
