ETA so far that's the only book I've come across with the 'view details' beside the book icon. Maybe it has to do with the 'Writing Life' feature? |
That page is a "Kobo Collection". I think the idea is to people can create a list of books with some comments and other information. In this case, it is a page of information about the the author rather than one book. The "Add to library" is adding the collection to your library. The only way I can see to access this is from the Kobo app on the iPad. That has a "Kobo Collections" section in the library. I'm sure I have seen this on the e-ink devices at some time, but it isn't there now. I assume the Android app and the Arc devices will show them.
Another example of a collection is
Kobo Next. That's just a selection of books they think people should buy from them.
