Good, so you have a correct reference.kepub.epub then. I'm not sure why exactly some kepubs have kobo-android.js, I suspect they're older kepubs that Kobo hasn't updated yet, but this plugin will accept kobo*.js

That's right. The ePub standard is made up of a few related standards, one of which is the Open Container Standard. It's a little more specific than just "a ZIP archive" though; it's required that there be a file named "mimetype" as the first file in the archive, no compression is permitted on this file (but all other files may be compressed) and the file must contain exactly the text "application/epub+zip" and must not have any trailing characters, including no newline characters.

If that's the case, the plugin is working correctly and its not something with that "virtual" kepub I used. Does that all sound correct?

That's right, I rename the file to kobo.js and put it at the base of the ePub file when I copy it over.
