I ran into another problem book with Kobo. I ended up buying a copy of it from B&N since Kobo's version is Adobe PDF and the kobo book can't be downloaded. I got a reply to my problem that it is possible to learn the format by downloading the preview which doesn't make sense to me as right below where it has the buy/add to cart and save preview boxes/links there is a link in blue that reads "Available on these devices." So I asked them today what the point of having that there is if it isn't of any use? When I click on that link I am taken to the bottom of the page and all the info. I get there is:

Sizzler,
May 2006
ISBN:9781588738790
Language:English

And it's the same with any book. Just the publishers name when it was published, the ISBN # and the language of the book. Not one mention of which devices it is compatible with. So what's the use of having the link that should tell you if it's compatible with whatever reader you have or not if it's not going to tell you that?
