I tried reporting this to Kobo, and got a credit for one of the books, but I don't think the issue got passed on or reported to anyone who would be able to solve this kind of problem. After a bit of experimentation, I found a Free book that replicates the issue.

I would be interested if anyone else is able to try to download this EPUB and see if it's unique to my accoun or a recent failure of Kobo server. (I do not know if the resource UUID in the ACSM file is unique per user, and we all get a unique epub, or if it's the same encrypted epub everyone gets.
I tried with this book and ADE cannot download it.
