I've just found an ebook on the Kobo site which I think takes the prize for dishonest conduct. The ebook is The Queen of Hearts, by Wilkie Collins.
- It is a direct copy of the Project Gutenberg Australia text version, complete with the PGA logo.
- It has the same cover as I used on my MR version on the Kobo website (pretty young woman in a big hat with the title in white on a blue background), but when bought and downloaded to my computer has an old cover for The Moonstone
- The formatting is just awful - the lines don't flow, they start at the left margin then break and end about the middle of the screen, and the text starts again at the left margin
- Kobo or somebody has applied DRM
- Kobo is charging money for it.
I am of course going to report it to Kobo, and give it a poor review, and I hope others who are concerned about this problem will do the same.
