Feature equality would be nice, but probably more work than it's worth. Kobo outright states that the kepub reader is not meant to be accessed in this manner. They're generous enough to leve it accessible so that those of us who choose to do so may use the kepub renderer with the understanding that it's unsupported. Compare to other companies, like Sony, who would likely make it difficult to get to the better renderer in the first place, do their best to make it horribly broken if you got there, and change things every release to break it even more. (I base that entirely off my experiences with the PSP and PS3, maybe they would do The Right Thing with their ebook readers.)

Rather than ask for feature equality, I think it would be better to ask for things that would benefit both ePub and kepub users, such as supporting the ePub v3 standards for setting series information in the ePub metadata. The best feature request is one that everyone benefits from.
