The Kobo Touch/Glo/Mini/Aura ereaders have two different rendering engines for displaying the ebook on the screen. The extension determines which one will be used. The Kobo rendering engine implements quite a few of the ePub 3 directives such as text direction, displays the amount of pages in the current chapter instead of the entire book, etc. It also implements Kobo's own DRM scheme. The Adobe Reader Mobile renderer allows you to read Adobe DRM protected books such as the ones you download from the library or purchase from sites that make use of it.
