I'm not quite following on your conversion question. Other than providing a kepub for Kobo devices/apps (which they already do, by converting the original EPUB3), I'm not suggesting they convert the original DRM-Free EPUB3 to anything. Just provide it as is. Like they do DRM-Free EPUB2s.

I'm not certain where you've got the idea that most EPUB3s are "mislableled." Of all of the retail EPUB3s I've come across (mostly from Google and B&N--before they removed their download links altogether), there's been no mislabeling. It's true that most don't really have any content that would keep them from being done just as well as an EPUB2, but they're not mislabeled by any means. They're well-formed, valid EPUB3s with a compliant OPF file, a nav document, and a fallback NCX. Most decent EPUB2 reading system (including RMSDK-based ones) won't blow up when encountering one.

No problem. It wasn't until
a little later in the thread that I did.
