Selected parties (including Kobo, iTunes) have access to the source files to process the books to make them work with their apps/readers and have to add a DRM scheme on top of it. These books are hosted and served from their own servers to their customers.
Kobo host two versions of a booktitle, a epub and a kepub file. If I remember downloadable Adobe epubs can be downloaded from "acs4.shortcovers.com:8080" (Adobe Content Server). The domain shortcovers is part of Kobos back-end.
Other smaller serve books from an external server usally to which the publisher uploaded it books (which already contain some form of DRM protection and which may or may not be further "personalized" when downloaded by a customer).
So, yes. It shouldn't be that difficult to add an Adobe DRM scheme to the source file if the source files is epub3 as the process or workflow isn't any different than that of epub2. |
Please read my answer. I almost said read my answer again, but you obviously did not read it at all.

If it's this simple, why can't Kobo manage to do it correctly? That's why this was thought to be Kobo's decision - it should be too simple to screw up.
