"Is Kobo at all considering offering direct downloads of EPUB3?"
Hi pssquirrel,
Yes Kobo is and should be offering epub3 for direct download.
In general if our item page has 'download options' (you can find this in the product info at the bottom of the page), the download option should work from the My Library page once purchased.
If the download isn't working where stated (i.e. 404 page not found errors or missing buttons) that's a problem and it needs to be fixed. We're investigating the issue now to determine root cause.
In the meantime if you come across a title that fails to download please PM me so I can escalate to our development team.
Thanks for your time and patience!
Brodie
P.S. Our plan as far as I've been told is to continue supporting purchase and download of ebooks for use on non-kobo eReaders (as long as publishers allow downloading of course, as there are some cases where we are not allowed).
