So you're saying that if I modify the ePub structure within a kepub file to be EPUB3 compliant, the Kobo device will pick up the series information per http://www.idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epu...c-opf-dctitle? And it supports the Canonical Fragment Identifier spec for syncing the reading position (http://www.idpf.org/epub/linking/cfi/)? That would be awesome if true, but as of 11 days ago Kobo supported neither in ePub or KePub, but if they do now with firmware 2.5.1 I'd be interested in revisiting at least the series information.

I think I misunderstand what you mean here. As I readit, either Adobe is working on EPUB3 support and so it's a work in progress, or they have no intention of EPUB3 support and so it isn't a work in progress. Or do you mean that Adobe has no plans for EPUB3 support but Kobo (and other vendors) is working on it with KePub acting as a stop-gap until they have EPUB3 properly implemented?
