What I said is to take it up with Kobo support, as they ARE committed to supporting Sony.
Also, they put the format information back on the site last week.
Finally, you DO know that a .kepub is just an epub, right? It just has some extra data for the Kobo readers. I confess, I have no idea if the Adobe DRM breaks if you rename the .kepub to .epub, but if it doesn't have DRM it should certainly open on the Sony. Now, if the Sony doesn't support epub3, that would be Sony's fault (and that's really my guess that is the problem, as I see people saying that this is only an issue with epub3s).

I also know you cannot download a KEPUB with a Sony reader. So, fat lot of good renaming will do you.
So... like I said in the first place, Kobo sells books that are KEPUB exclusives.
Which of course harmonizes perfectly with your claim:

It is simply not true that all Kobo books work on the PRS series. Not without knowledge that most people lack and which is inconvenient in the extreme for the people who do have it.
And really, if a book is EPUB3-only, then it undermines the claim that Kobo supports the Sony for all their books.
It is not Sony's fault, they made sure to deliver EPUB2. Kobo took over the Sony line and later started selling EPUB3-only books.
They should provide another firmware update.
