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).
It used to be that you only needed ADE. Now you need both (because Kobo is being stupid) which equals more software bloat.

Also, there is the Kobo-specific markup for people who feel the need to mess around under the hood.
