This is equivalent to pulling Kobo out of the Google Play store or from iTunes Store. In my mind, not having my main e-book reader on my tablet would make the tablet nearly useless to me. This is a really big deal - both for Windows 8 tablets and for Kobo. They're essentially not supporting the Windows 8 tablet platform1

It may be a pain in the rear, but have you tried downloading your Kobo books as epubs and opening them in the Nook app? It can sideload, and I assume (but haven't verified) that it can read ADEPT DRMed books. Not as convenient as syncing your books directly from Kobo, but it may be a decent interim solution until Kobo can get their app back up to par and in the store again.
