I have been and with GeoffR's patches they work pretty good. But it takes a lot of personal css editing (depending on the title) and epub to epub conversions to get an epub to where it works 100% with the kobo settings (margin, line-spacing, justification and font control) thus almost completely changing the original structure of the retail epub. Of course a lot of epubs need this done as their margin or line spacing settings can be outright ridiculous resulting in loads of wasted space and an un-uniform look. Frankly it would be nice to purchase an eBook and load it up without any faffing about, whether that's kepub or epub. It would appear the Kobo in it's current firmware state is unable to do this with any reliable certainty.
