and am I right in thinking that is is used only for interpreting epub, there's other code used only for handling kepub which does belong to Kobo ?
It's in the firmware. If you look in the /usr/local/Kobo directory,you'll find the librmsdk.so.1.0.0 file. The kepub renderer is not Kobo's either. It was developed by ACCESS. That renderer is epub3 compliant but can also be used with epub2 documents. The only reason to continue including both is the Adobe ADEPT DRM ecosystem which is used by libraries and ebook vendors. Though it is fun comparing the bugs in both renderers (valid for some values of fun ).
