I haven't seen it, but from the description it seem to be the kind of book (interactive, needs color) that isn't suitable for an e-ink reader. Perhaps that is the reason. Still Kobo, CLEARLY display what formats a book is available in before we buy.
Hear hear, please do this, Kobo! It's such a basic piece of information about the thing that you're selling - why hold it such a secret?

Not so much on the new site really.
I meant this as an appeal to Kobo to change that part back again.

The only clue that the book does not have an ePub format is to search for it under the Kobo Desktop application.

If the book does not show up in Kobo Desktop, then there is no ePub for the book.

But wouldn't kePub only books show up there?

The fact that the icons indicate that it cannot be read on ereaders is a pretty good way to tell as well. Given that it cannot be read on the desktop either, despite indicating on the page icons that it can be, I would ask Kobo for a refund.
