Did you actually read the post and the references? And follow any links. They all point to here. The only source of information on this is THIS thread.

And yes, it's bad that books have been lost from their libraries. But, as is noted in the articles, Kobo is helping to recover those books and get them back into the library.

As for removing the wifi password, I have it memorized. I enter it every time I want to print from my phone. The phone has it, the printer doesn't.

All of the Android apps I have will function without any connection. The databases are downloaded to the memory, and so is the purchase key.
Well, good those devices work with or without the WiFi enabled as needed. It's good that the Kobo devices do as well.

Dark sky sites for astronomy often have nothing. I'm partial to places where my carrier isn't. Same for birds and wildflowers.

If the book came down as a DRM free epub, it should have the file extension. Windows, Android and Linux should see the extension and any reader that reads epub should be able to open it.
The Kobo firmware downloads books as kepubs. Nowhere is there anything that says they have to send it to the device in a format suitable for use but other applications or devices. For those purposes, Kobo allow you to download epubs from the My Library page. You know, the place this thread is all about.
