and for all intents and purposes, a KEPUB is, now, just an epub. we were even experimenting a few months ago with regular epubs giving them .kepub.epub extensions so we could access the kepub features. Previously (with the original Kobo, and with the wifi for a bit), they had used an SQL database to store the books. since they moved away from that, it has gotten better
