Then you didn't do the right trick, I can make a movie, I can resync again and again with two readers, they are EPUBS.
BUT, a BIG BUT, when buyed a reader by BOL.Com your account will be migrated with both, they call it the digital bookshelf.
(Also other company's join that, so you must have a digital bookshelf to and i don't think you have a Bol.com account and a digital bookshelf account (leesid) and then even 4 or 5 bookstores are joined all to one account.)
So maybe it is because the account of BOL.com that it sends epubs since the affiliate is Bol.com also, so when i logon at the koboshop it knows that I buyed the reader with Bol.com and thereby sends EPUBS.
I know the difference between epub and kepub and am not a fool, so i know what is coming to my readers.

Every book you buy at Bol.com is also in your Kobo account,and Vice Versa.
If you turn on translation you can see it here: http://www.eburon.nl/wat_is_leesid
Changing account doesn't make you Dutch so you can't compare.

Again bought this book,this morning,trough the device https://store.kobobooks.com/nl-nl/ebook/zwart-huis and again EPUB, sorry guy !

They are migrated so much,that they even have the same action prices.
Bol.com : http://www.bol.com/nl/p/zwart-huis/9200000051330162/
Kobo: https://store.kobobooks.com/nl-nl/ebook/zwart-huis

So maybe if you buy the reader at Kobo, sign up,and don't buy with Bol.com you can still get kepubs, i don't know.
I also don't know if then can see with the ip number where u are coming from, all (or all that i know) dutch book to dutch customers are coming from "centraal boekhuis" which is the distributing company so maybe if you are coming from another country they will provide it from somewhere else, I all don't know,don't want to know, if I say I get epubs, i get epubs. Say what you get is still not saying what I get.
