Not really true. While the original author did stop active support, others in the community have and will continue to support this and release new versions as required.

Additionally, at one time the full eBook stats were available on side loaded kEpub format materials. Unfortunately Kobo now only supports these full stats on content downloaded directly from Kobo via either WiFi or Kobo Desktop.

There was a one-time special version of the Kobo Extended driver that continued to allow full stats on sideloaded kEpub format material; unfortunately in-order for this to work, content had to be located within the .kobo directory structure on the device, and whenever a sync was done with Kobo these sideloaded kepubs would be deleted from the device.
