Just idle speculation on my part. There was an issue a long time ago where Kepubs were being loaded to the Adobe content server instead of epubs. They were encryted with Adobe DRM, but once decrypted, the files were formatted as Kepubs (with the javascript Kobo uses to define several css styling elements, and the infamous missig space after italics throughout the text.). It was my understanding, possibly wrong, that files delivered from the Adobe content server are provided by the publisher (or more specifically, their chosen e-distributor.. Ingram?) This makes me wonder if the Kepubs themsevles are actually created by the publisher/distributor as well, and no in house by Kobo.
