But I put it in my preview, and it shows as EPUB (DRM Free) which I believe means it would be downloadable if I bought it.

Now I could have sworn this was not downloadable when I initially looked, so I went to ebooks.com and bought it as DRM free epub.

This example appears to show a TOR book from May 2013 as downloadable, but a TOR book from Aug 2014 as not downloadable.

So not all TOR books are impacted.

Next step is to look at the epub authoring.
Not all Tor books are impacted because not all Tor eBooks are ePub 3. The ePub 2 eBooks are not converted to kepub. it is the newer ePub 3 eBooks from Tor that get converted to kepub. Kobo does this so it gets read with the Access renderer in Kobo eInk Readers.
