Lets see, if you supply an DOC file to Smashwords, it get heavily modified to produce the epub or other formats they support. And Amazon is doing the same thing. So, what's the difference for Kobo? All they are doing is taking an import and changing it to the format that they support.

Of course, the problem for Kobo is that there are a lot more people out there buying books than have Kobo devices or the apps. Not supplying a more widely supported format is shooting themselves in the foot. That means that all those other readers out there have no reason to come to the Kobo shop and buy books from them. That's a mistake for Kobo and they should fix.
