Hi Andrew I read Kobo books on my iPhone with the Kobo app which is free from the App store. Now that the ibooks store is finally available in New Zealand, I read kobo books less and less because they are not as accessible as iBooks. That said, if you choose the epub version of the book at purchase, the book will download into the app very nicely. You can read the book either by flicking to the right to read each line, or doing a two finger swipe down to read the whole chapter. You can't get word or character navigation, but I have found reading Kobo books with a braille display works really nicely, and almost prefer that to listening with speech because you can navigate more easily. The app itself is definitely usable but takes a bit of figuring out. It's not my first choice of ebooks anymore, but if nothing else is available I'll take anything and work with it. I've not tried reading them on my Mac so can't help you there. Let me know if I can help further with the iPhone app.
