In my list of purchases on kobo.com I have confirmation of the 17 books I have bought since 2011. Today only 4 of then are available to me via kobo, and one is a freebee.
Luckily I have always ensured that I have a washed, cleansed and preserved de-DRMed local copy for my personal archives as well as back-ups on various attached and non-attached storage devices under my control and in my possession.
Clicking on the missing books I am presented with a 404 page; the book is no longer available. I assume that the publishing deal has expired.
The reason I only bought 17 books with kobo is that I discovered the issue with books disappearing rather early and also that I exclusively bought when I received the discount codes that they at one time offered to me, but then this practice was discounted or discontinued.
I also found and still find them, fairly expensive.
I shop elsewhere these days.
