It is so aggravating. (I hate their apps, and I can't get the obok-thingy to work for me so I'm pretty much stuck. )
Yes, it was a recently published book - May 2014. Penguin New Zealand was the publisher. Kobo have confirmed that it's only available in epub3 format, and have now asked what kind of device I'm reading on. The device type is not the point - I simply want to download the file so I have a backup. I'm able to READ epub 3 on my device, but I can't ensure ownership and DRM-freeness. But I guess I can't tell kobo that!
