I just tried this trick with the Wool omnibus, which I got with the Kobo coupon code. It worked! I don't know if it had DRM or not, but it did work. It also worked on the Chronicles of Master Li and Number One Ox, which I know is DRM free.

(The download for this book said EPUB, but downloaded a kepub book.)

It also makes sense that if Blackberry is listed as a device the book is available as a non kepub. Kobo currently does not have a Blackberry app.

Just for info - my BB Playbook has a native Kobo ereader app. The app ships with the device and was part of the initial Playbook software when first released.

I think the new BBs with the new OS do not. Kobo's relationship with BB used to be a big deal for both of them.

Will kpubs open up in Adobe Digital? That's how I always download my Kobo purchases, direct into Adobe. Then I take the Adobe file into Calibre.

No. Kepubs only open in the Kobo application.

So I could read them in a Kobo app on my iPad? Or Nook HD, but no where else?

You can read them on any Kobo device, on your computer using the Kobo desktop applications, or on a tablet with the Kobo app installed, but not on any device that doesn't have a Kobo application, which means any non-Kobo e-ink device is out. I own a Nook Simple Touch, which doesn't have apps, so the kepubs are useless to me.

Thanks witchkitten, I have a few devices that can take the Kobo app.
