I'm assuming that you've preordered it from Kobo. Whenever I've done this:
1. I've received an e-mail from Kobo on the day of release;
2. Next time I sync my device (by default, I leave Wi-Fi off, to save the battery), the book downloads to it automatically.

I suspect that the time of day when it becomes available depends on geography. Here (UK), I find that it seems not to appear until morning - i.e., it doesn't always seem to happen immediately the clock passes midnight.

When I've bought direct from publishers, I've found that my book doesn't get made available to me for download until early/mid-afternoon my time. From memory, it's about 09:00 their local time, so, for example, 09:00 in Florida would be 14:00 here.
