Unfortunately, therefore, it seems the problem will become more frequent. This thread at Mobile Reads suggests that all new Tor books will have this problem if purchased from Kobo, as they are publishing their books in ePub3 format. This appears to be a compatibility issue with the way Kobo likes to do things and ePub3. Those books which are uploaded to Kobo in ePub3 format are going to be KePubbed and won’t be downloadable. It seems the problem is both ePub3 and KePub – ePub3 books can be downloaded – other etailers don’t seem to be having the same problem. EPub3 books can be downloaded just fine – the problems arise when you come across a (fortunately) rare KePub book.ĮTA: I’ve been keeping an eye on the comments and browsing through the Mobile Reads forum about this topic. Kobo’s Customer Care department (a misnomer if ever I heard one) will tell buyers who complain that the problem occurs because the book is “ePub3”. SeptemMaking Sure your Kobo book can be downloadedĭiscussion about the recent changes to B&N have revealed a number of Kobo customers are having trouble with some Kobo books they’ve purchased.
