And if calibre did that, what would all the people who think that the kepub renderer is worse than the epub renderer do?

If you want to download books as kepub, convert them in calibre using the Kepub Output plugin.
You're right. I should have spent some time to understand differences between epub and kepub. I copied a epub to my device with modified extension and assumed it worked well after seeing the footer and reading stat.

Thank you for pointing out this and the kepub plugin.
