That doesn't sound like a glitch as much as a policy/design decision: "If the publisher sends us epub2, set it up for straighgt download--if they send us epub3, set it up as Kepub."
There must be a business/technical reason for the divide. Kobo proudly proclaims epub3 support but might it be like Amazon's "support" for epub, on the publishing side as feedstock only?
How are the Kobo readers with sideloaded epub3? New ones, old ones...?
Amazon download files depend on the device you designate: if you tell it you're going to sideload a K1 or K2 you get mobi7 but for newer hardware you get azw or kf8. Kobo may not have the mechanisms in place to do that for their older hardware.
If the issue has been brought up all the way up to da boss then it must not be an easy fix. Or it's something they don't care about.
Just wondering, though.
I gave up on Kobo way back, even before Kepub.
