BTW, I got a credit of $14 from kobo, so that went well at least.  |
Perhaps it was triggered by it having another extension (.epub) yet actually being a zip file. That's a classic old school way used to trick someone into opening malware.
Other file formats are similar, eg Java jar files are just zips in disguise. I've seen AV software replace class files in jars with PDFs, which amazingly caused software to break
In this case though, whatever it was that interfered with your download needs to be taught about epubs.
