What good is it to have any of the books if you can't get the remainder of the series to get the whole story? It's even worse with ebooks because the library has fewer of them.

The NC digital library has some ebook series like this too. I don't understand this. If they have only enough money to buy five books in a 13-book series now, I would expect them to buy the first five - older books in the series are probably less expensive - then add the newer books later as funds became available.
You would think if Kobo went to the trouble of acquiring Sony's customers they would want to make it easy for Sony owners to buy from Kobo.
I've recently bought a few epubs from
http://www.booksamillion.com/ and haven't had any problems so far.
In case the OP missed it, there was a recent thread about people's favorite epub stores where a few other stores were mentioned (interspersed with rants about Kobo and comments about removing drm......) The thread is probably only a page or two back in the General forum.
