If it's not there, the book's very likely kepub and only kepub.

I have been a heavy kobo purchaser for years and have never come across this until today. I'm buying from a New Zealand account so perhaps the publishers always make the epub available.
Anyway, today I have bought a book, went to download it and struck exactly the situation you show above. And there appears to be no way of knowing before you purchase unless you download a preview (which is just an extra hassle I think). Interestingly, it is a New Zealand published book as well.
This is a bad move on kobo's part - and I've logged a ticket to see what they say (although I'm sure many others have). Their website should clearly state the formats up front.
