If you are using a Kobo eInk device, are you syncing the book using the ereader itself? If you are downloading it on your computer using the download option on the Kobo website, if it downloads as an .acsm file (if the download is an .epub file, it does not have DRM), are you using either ADE or calibre's ACSM plugin to download the ePub? If so, unless your Kobo ereader is activated with Adobe using the same account as used for ADE, you would need to remove the DRM before sending it to your Kobo ereader. To check what account your ereader is using, you can tap More => Settings => Accounts and see what is listed under the ADOBE heading. For ADE, you can click on Help => Authorization settings. For the ACSM plugin, you can check the authorization under the customization settings for the plugin.
Netgalley sends it to Kobo. I don't have the option to download it and the only e reader device I have is a Tolino. I assume that there is extra protection for Netgalley books.
