but the most recent change is to protect KU. the authors using that are too weak to strongarm anyone
if i buy some super popular best seller by a very rich author, i can get around DRM with the download and transfer trick
its the badly written books by Mr Nobodies in KU that are now locked away
PS
"but until Kobo offers a similar service, I am afraid we are stuck with the big elephant in the room"
kobo does have a version of KU, its called Kobo Plus
https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...us-on-kobo-com
its not very attractive though, and is only in som countries ( not UK so I cannot have a free trial )
maybe someone who has it can say if books can br downloaded into ADE, like other kobo books
Kobo Plus is a relative newcomer to the ebook subscription market, following a similar model to Kindle Unlimited. It's great for Kobo ereader users, although its availability is very limited at the time of writing. At present, it's only available in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal.
