I just bought a book published by Tor from Kobo and they provide no download link in my library section of the website. There was one other story from Tor (actually Tor.com) which had the same problem. It's frustrating and confusing because Tor and Tor.com books/stories all say "At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied" at the end of the product description. Other books/stories from Tor[.com] have a non-DRM epub download link.
I haven't contacted Kobo about this week's purchase, but I did with the previous one. They gave me the run-around and ended up lying to me. With that phrase in the description, this is a case of false advertising.
The problem is, I like purchasing through Kobo because it's the only ebookstore where my money will also support my local brick-and-mortar bookstore.
