On the plus side you no longer have to worry about marking recommendations as not interested or already read and then have them re-appear, looks like the only way to get rid of them now is to buy the book.

I rechecked - in the revamped US store it does show on which devices you can read book.
So from the previous thread the deduction would be if it has listed Quote:

Why do you think one means it's ePub & the other kePub? Just trying to understand your reasoning as everything in your first group can read kePub's too.

eReader to me would mean ePub. Desktop on the other hand means Kobo Desktop, ie kepub. |

Lol.. I was just looking at the site in different browsers; Chrome and IE and seeing both the old and the new site. Just as I was attempting to document what I was seeing in each, Chrome decided to move me to the new site as well.
And yes... I see what you mean about Bushman Lives! . |

Anyway, the only thing that interests me as non-owner of Kobo is what should I look for to be sure that I will be able to download epub file and open it in ADE. The way I do when I buy from Google. |

I miss the Goodreads reviews in Kobo but I understand since the ownership is changed. I just have both windows open. I do miss the internal Kobo stars ranking though. I also wish that we could adjust the recommendations as it keeps showing items I have either already read or am not interested in so it is not going to change.
Does anyone know if where we can pass on our comments to Kobo? |

I am finally able to view the new Kobo Webstore.
Here is what I have discovered so far. The only SURE way to find out what downloads are available for a book is to save a preview(if a preview is available), then go to your library "I'm Reading" and see what it says for downloads. I have checked out ONE book that I knew was only available as a PDF and in the "READ ON THIS" the only option was DESKTOP. It does show as PDF in "I'm Reading". It's just too much work to search for a book, then go to the details page then save a preview (if available) and then check the library to make sure that you can download an epub. I'm just not going to spend $8 or more and then find out I can only download a PDF version. These days I won't even consider Kobo unless I have a coupon for 30% or more and I know the book is available as epub elsewhere. |

In this blog post...
http://cafe.kobo.com/blog/kobo-ebook...autiful-design They ask for folks to leave comments or to email feedback@kobo.com Don't know if it'd do any good in getting them to make some changes or not, but might be worth a try. |
