There's more information in the original thread, but in summary:
- Kobo took one of the ebooks I complained about down, but not the other
- A few people give poor ratings to the ebooks taken from MR, and others find them helpful
- I've started putting a copyright notice (original text PD, additional material © Alex Bell, 2015, can be distributed freely but not for commercial purposes) in the ebooks I do for the MR library, and copy them to the Kobo library - for free of course.
But I really don't know whether it makes any difference. I saw a free ebook on the Kobo site recently from one of my favourite authors who died around 1950 and the book was published around 1936. I doubt that it was in the Public Domain. It seems to me that Kobo's Quality Assurance is very poor.
