Does this involve the Adobe system?

Thanks.
HB emails you a link to a page on their site which links to a special page on kobo.com where you can select which of the 39 books you want to get. (Weird but OK..)

That HB page also has a hidden redemption code. On that special Kobo page there's something like a redeem button, and at some point you type in the redemption code.

The books then appear in your Kobo library, just the same as any other purchased book.

At least one of the books has an option to be downloaded with Adobe DRM, but the default is to use Kobo DRM.

I might be misremembering if HB's email had the link or which page showed you the redemption code, but that's basically the gist.

Now, back to arguing the toss with posters who believe they know better than a book's author.
