Yup, took the words right out of my mouth. Not convertible to any other realistic format.

Fixed-layout ebooks only work on the devices for which they are specifically designed. If you have a Kobo, buy it on Kobo. If you have an iOS tablet, buy it on the Apple store. If you have a Kindle or Kindle reader, buy it there.

Don't try to move files from A to B. In the world of fixed-layout it simply does not work. Everything is set in X-Y coordinates targeted to a specific device, screen resolution, screen size, etc. It's ...it's not reverse-engineer-able.
