Device recognition in epub code

I'm hoping to implement buy links in an epub that will recognize the user's device and send them to a specific website based on the device, but I'm not sure where to start in an epub. So if the user is reading on a Kobo device, I want to have them click a link that will recognize the device and send them to whatever href I associated with that device. Same link should send an apple user to the iTunes store page for the book.
Will Media Queries get me what I need or is there some other way, because I believe that this has been done in epubs before.
Send everybody to the same link, which checks the user-agent of the browser (should be different for each brand of device, at least) and forwards them on to the correct place.

Get other application icon image in my Application

In my application, I am showing some applications list which are on app store.
I want to get those application's icon image in my application.
I just search but not getting any relevant post on this.
Is there any way to get it? Apple allows to get? Please suggest if there is any way.
Thanks for the help.
apple has an JSON Service for that, where you get a lot of meta data for every application
This is the URL for the Facebook App
http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=284882215
and this a the URL for the Facebook and Twitter App combined:
http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=284882215,333903271
in the JSON you will find URLs of the app icons in attributes artworkUrl60, artworkUrl512 and artworkUrl100
"artworkUrl100":"http://a1170.phobos.apple.com/us/r30/Purple4/v4/37/7e/9e/377e9e31-388e-8d10-e414-f478a2f18d29/mzl.pacepjmm.png"
unfortunately those app icons are squared and don't have the rounded corners, you will get app icon how the developer uploaded it.
UPDATE: get data for other countries
if you want to get the data for different countries you can just add the country code in between e.g.
for Germany: http://itunes.apple.com/de/lookup?id=284882215
for France: http://itunes.apple.com/fr/lookup?id=284882215
I think there is an tool to generate AppStore Custom RSS Feeds, it returns links and icons, bu i had never worked on it.
iTunes RSS, With the iTunes Store RSS Feed Generator you can create custom RSS feeds to fit your specific needs. Specify feed length, genres, types, and more.

how to get app listed in movies section on facebook

I am working on a movie detail sharing application integrated with Facebook.
I am posting the post with default video object properties but still the app does not show in the Films section.
When I click edit it shows Goodreads and Pinterest (and other apps) listed but not mine.
I want to get my app listed in this section.
You can't ,for the Moment, Assign the Movies & TV Category to an App. That fell under the Entertainment Category.

Apps like Netflix, Rotten Tomatoes, Goodreads have integrated with sections to let people add their favorite media content to timeline. To encourage people to share with friends they rolled out the ability to rate content directly on timeline and add ratings from apps.

Form to send iOS app via text message

Is there a service that allows me to put a form on my site that will send a link to my iOS app to a user?
User goes to my site
User inserts their cell phone number in a field
User receives a text message with the link to download my app
Does this make sense? Is there a better way? I've seen this before but can't remember where...
Currently do people really just take out their iPhones, open the app store, search for the app name to download it?
PS: Before posting I searched Google and this site but didn't find any answer.
Not quite what you're looking for, but probably a lot easier for you to do: You could create a QR-Code that contains a link to your app in the App Store. Then people can scan it with their phones (there are tons of popular apps that can do this), and when it opens the URL, the user will be redirected to the app store.
Just use the https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/[...] link from iTunesConnect for your app.
