It seems that some publishers are publishing in ePub 3 (for no good reason) as they do not use any of the ePub 3 features that ePub 2 doesn't have. So Kobo in their infinite stupidity decided that ePub 3 should be kepub so it's used with Access and not ADE. if Kobo keeps doing this and publishers keep publishing ePub 3 (for not reason at all), then Kobo will be putting out a lot more kepub only releases.

Tor is making ePub 3 these days and I took a look at another recent Tor eBook (Dragon Age: Last Flight) that was published as ePub 3 and sure enough, it's kepub at Kobo.
