So in otherwords were those 4 ebooks kepubs and not epubs, or was there a no show irrespective?

Lucky you finding books to buy - I couldn't and I don't think I've bought a Kobo books for possibly 2 months.
I'm not sure I am answering correctly, but I'll try.

I bought the book. I have a receipt, it is on my cedit card, it is in my kobo purchase history.

When I pull up the book in the search bar on KOBO, it displays the "view in library" button, so KOBO thinks I have it too. However, when I go to my library, either by following the view in library link or by the "my library" button, the book is simply not there. NOt on my reader, not in my library, not in the KOBO desktop. Nowhere.


I have read comments about kepubs and I just don't understand what they are. One of the missing books is Red Dirt Heart 4 by NR Walker. It says EPUB2 -DRM free. But I have other books that state EPUB2 DRM free that I didn't have problems with. Customer service stated, via email, that the "link" is broken. Even though I tell them I want the book, not a refund, they gave me a refund. They did not replace my coupon.


I have never had a problem with downloading any KOBO books, other than this problem I am explaining. (This has happened to me in the past, but never so many at once). Some books end up being pdf that I have to put into adobe before pulling them into calibre with the plug in, but I can read them.

I am buying mostly mm romance books from small publishers that are never coupon ineligible, so I can usually find plenty to buy. I use multiple email accounts to gather coupons and I buy the books with two accounts so I can get 2 books per coupon. I was lucky in that when KOBO switched to the longer passwords, I had created a system and remembered the next time, and now I don't have to create new accounts.

For this contenst, I had one 75%, two 65%, four 55%, three donated 55%, I used 2 35% on $1 books, and the rest were 45%
