I would need more failed Epubs to form a pattern. I built a Windows GUI front end to EpubCheck with an error output to XML. Anyone willing to run it on Epubs they have that failed to load to KOBO? It requires EpubCheck 3.0 to be installed already and .net Framework 3.5 to be installed as well.
I've only run into a couple of books that would not load and in both cases, I opened the epub file, extracted the contents and munged them into a single file with minimal formatting. I then used Sigil to regenerate the .epub file with stylesheet, images, chapter splits, etc.

One of the two files I never did find why it was an unhappy camper, the second had issues with zero length chapter files and garbage lines in the content and toc files.
