This is the first time I've looked at Creative Commons. Does the wording make sense? Is there a better way of putting it?

If they leave it in, or remove it, having it in should allow you to send a DCMA notice to Kobo about the books. There's plenty of sites out there that'll help you write an appropriate one. Even if you're not in the US you could do this, and most sites will respond to them, even if they're not in the US.
That said, it's not a guarantee Kobo will remove it. They most likely will, as failing to do so opens them up to liability too, but they may decide it's public domain and be willing to take the risk.
I'm not a lawyer, so don't take this as absolute legal advice though.
