That's really unfortunate to hear since it has a (not entirely deserved) reputation for being the open source ereader, and I think the implication from that would be that they wouldn't support DRM. If anybody else has Kobo thoughts/experiences to share, I may write about it on opensource.com.

I've written a short blog post about this experience:  http://neverfriday.com/?q=blog/kobo-store-ebook-restrictions-drm

Let me know if I should include snippets of the emails or if there's anything more that someone wants to know (about the checkout process, the types of applications they force you to get, etc.)

I found out today that Kobo has released some free/open source software but it's been patches made to the GNU/Linux distribution they use on their hardware. Basically, the things they're forced to release.
