The release of RMSDK 11 has taken more steps in that direction through adding chunks of the Readium epub3 technology but RMSDK 11 is not yet available on Kobo's eInk readers. From what I've read, ADE 4.0 which has a similar code base to RMSDK 11 is best described as feature incomplete when it comes to epub3 support.

So I would characterize your belief that Kobo is slighting epub2 as being at best a paranoid fantasy.
I don't understand how Nooks and Sonys were ever able to read borrowed epubs, since they were somehow able to fix some of these issues. Or am I wrong about that? JSWolf, did your Sony have these same issues with epubs that are being reported here?
