Unfortunately, the one which is DRM-free won't download -- just gives me an "Oops!" error page. It is Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome by John Scalzi from Tor Books.
You may want to let the author or Tor know about that. The Big Five don't like it when their books are listed but inaccessible, and no author enjoys it. I remember when the initial DRM-free rollout from Tor (another Scalzi book!) had problems, and the publisher was quite good about getting my issue resolved.

You just inspired me to check the five books in my library that were previously kepub only. All of them now have download buttons!
Mine also! Have we seen the last of non-downloadable kepubs?

At least the DRMed ones. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has a DRM-free kepub book that actually has an working epub download button now. Being DRM-free but kepub only defeats the purpose.

Anyone have a 45 or greater to spare? I want to buy a fairly inexpensive book so I don't need a HUGE coupon...35 is the best I have so far...thanks!

Got one--Thank you!!!!

Only in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Got two 30% off coupons. Used them to buy two books. One showed up in the Library, one didn't. The product page, however, insists it's there. It's not. Now I go round with Kobo support. Again.

And this is why I only buy from Kobo when I have a good coupon.

Cromag did you open Kobo Desktop and look to see if it's there?

Just in case they only had the kepub version, even though they said epub.

Happened to me once with a self-published new release. Those of us who bought the book within the first couple of hours after it's released had the same problem: the amount was paid, the receipt was received (and showed up in "Purchase History"), but the book didn't appear in the library. Those who bought the book later had no problem at all.

I suspected the initial file had problem and they replaced the page entirely, which means when I clicked on the item link in my "Purchase History", I got an error page. It's like I'd bought a phantom book.

Anyway, I emailed them and soon the book appeared in my library. I could download it with the download button, but when I clicked on the title, it still led me to the error page. Well, as long as I can finally download the book, I don't really care.

Don't blame the author...I recently released a book there as a preorder. Being me, I tested the preorderability. Couldn't get it to work. I won't go into long, boring details, but it turns out that authors can't buy their own books via PREORDER, but we can buy them AFTER preorder--Only tech support didn't know that.

That said, they were professionals about it and quick to respond. It's just sometimes a bit convoluted.
