When I made that change to my Kobo eReader.conf file, it did fix the page display on kepubs as they said.
But on regular epubs (which is my preference always, I stay away from kepubs), it displayed only the page number you're on and not Page X of Y. So it would read "Page 351" for instance. It could be just on the older firmware I'm using, but just so you're aware that might happen.
So I just avoid kepubs. Since I won't purchase from the Kobo store (for several reasons), it's not an issue for me. But if you do purchase from Kobo and they send you a kepub with DRM, I don't think you have a choice to convert it to epub, it's not possible to do, and you'll have to live with the kepub.
