Can't read ebooks.com books uploaded to Kobo Aura via Calibre?

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place; I wasn't sure where to put it.

I recently bought a couple of books from ebooks.com, extracted them with Digital Editions and added them to my Kobo Aura via Calibre. However, when I tried to read my books on the device I found that I couldn't - the books on the e-reader were blank, with no cover image or text. When I tried adding them to my e-reader directly via Digital Editions this problem did not occur, so I could just do that if necessary, but I would really rather do everything via Calibre.

Is there a likely explanation for this problem? My device is authorised with ADE and I've downloaded books from ebooks.com and added them via Calibre before with no problems. I updated Calibre today so I don't think that's it. I tried removing and re-adding my older books from ebooks.com and they still work fine, as do my open-source books and books from other sources. Ebooks.com seem to have changed their interface slightly in the past week or so - the newer books have a "Read Online" with Amigo Reader option - so perhaps that could have something to do with it? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks!
