The only way I know consistently to tell if a book is not one of the crappy ADE3 books is to download a sample. In your library on the Kobo site the book won't have a download button since it's a sample, but it will state "Adobe DRM" or ePub or PDF so at least you can see what you're getting. I've pretty much stopped buying Kobo books since they (for some asinine reason) changed the website so you don't know what you're getting until they get your money. That's absolutely ridiculous. They advertise being able to read ther books on any device that reads epubs...and this stupid policy sure doesn't support that if I can only read on my Kobo. Personally I think they've shot themselves in the foot with their awful new website design...search doesn't even work properly any more.
