The difference is that epub2 ebooks are also available as downloadable epubs readable on any epub2 software/device while epub3 ebooks are not. What would make sense to me would be Kobo changing their system to treat epub3 ebooks with a toc.ncx as epub2.
I think you are missing the point here. I am not talking about using Kobo Desktop or a Kobo app to download eBooks from Koob. If the eBook is ONLY available as kepub then you cannot download it as an ePub at all.
