Sorry to hear this happened to you. It would have been considerate to give you the option to transfer their purchases to a new account. It’s clear Kobo took the easier solution. I set my daughter up with a separate account and her own debit card. I transfer money into her bank account as she earns it around the house. She just saved up for an $11.99 manga. She was so excited. I realize your reason for going Kobo has just been yanked out from under you, but my suggestion is to set her up with her own account and card. That way you can still have control over what she buys while teaching her about finances.
