I don't know, when I think about it, it doesn't seem to me that it takes any more hoop jumping to backup a kepub into Calibre than to backup an Adobe DRM epub into Calibre. Both require getting and installing some additional software in the first place, and then about the same number of steps for each book. The biggest hoop, for me, is that Kobo desktop doesn't want to sync under linux/wine, so I need to remember to process any kepubs for backup on the rare occasions I boot my windows partition (but then it has been pretty rare that I've bought a book that was kepub-only anyway).
