I don't expect to see Kobo even consider the possibility of removing either renderer until they have a single rendering platform that can support both Adobe's DRM and EPUB 3.0's typography. At present, that probably translates to "wait for Adobe/Datalogics to implement solid EPUB 3.0 support."

You've already admitted to not knowing much about Kobo's platform. Why would you even consider speculating about their business model based on such dubious information?
I think speculation is only speculation if you have no actual proof. One can therefore only speculate if they do not know for certain.

And I was not speculating, just saying that I did not understand the advantage of choosing the Access renderer if a choice must be made. Or even the marketing strategy behind kepubs. I am sure they have a plan that makes sense to them, but I do not see the benefit.

I actually was not he one who raised the point of Kobo using only one renderer to start out with and saying that I wouldn't bet on that is actually a statement of fact as I wouldn't.

DNSB gave me his opinion which I value but still don't see it as strong enough. My opinion, not speculation.

Saying I don't understand something is hardly speculative although saying that some people might not like only the Access renderer being used might possibly be. Pretty sure at least one or two wouldn't but perhaps it is speculative in your view.

Not being angry here but certainly feeling you are taking my words out of context, and of course any offense you have taken was not intended and I apologize profusely for upsetting you whether intentional or not.
