ACCESS also uses quite a bit of open source which is downloadable if you want to go through the 93MB tarball for the BookReader software.

You point out that there are bugs in the rendering engines (Adobe or Access) and not bugs caused by Kobo and therefore (also) should contact Adobe or Access about those bugs and they probably don't care.
But Kobo and any other company that uses these engines bring in much more "mass" to get the most important bugs fixed.
Hopefully this will improve with a full epub3 renderer. I don't know is Kobo planning to use the new Readium engine or adds epub3 support to the engines they currently use.
I don't know if Kobo (or other vendors) update their current line of devices with the most recent available versions of the engines.
But open source projects (like OpenInkpot) seems to be all dead.
I'll wait for an installable version of KOreader to check it out (and find some bugs too).
