The two book series I have bought (in ePub format, different publishers, not from Kobo), have this problem. Fortunately I'm a "power user" and I have been able to fix them, otherwise I'd be really pissed off. This kind of thing is worse than DRM.
Might be well worthwhile telling the community the books in question and also passing the info directly to Kobo; either via Customer Support, or by letting someone from Kobo who frequents this forum on an unofficial basis know so he can pass it on internally.
