Remember, this is a feature that has not yet been officially released! We know that some things that are currently kepub only will, at some point, be available for other formats. We just don't know what features, or when.

Me editorializing with nothing but my own opinion.

I'm willing to bet that a whole lot of Kobo users are buying the Kobo, downloading their books from Kobobooks and not looking for much beyond the best feature set that works with books purchased this way. Building out for them first makes sense to me--especially since Kobo has to pay a fee to Adobe for each book that is added to the reader as ADE ePUB--which is probably the 2nd most popular way folks are adding books to their readers. Of course they make zero, zilch, nada for books added to the reader from other stores or obtained in other ways. Kobo eventually has to make a profit, and doing this first makes a certain amount of sense.
