I really don't want to de-rail this thread so I'll keep it brief. A de-DRM'd Kobo-bought kepub arrives in calibre with the .epub extension so Modify Epub will handle it OK. For other kepubs, just manually copy the .kepub out of the calibre library to somewhere else - manually rename it to .epub - re-add to calibre, calibre thinks it's just another epub (which it is) and ME works fine.

ETA: Do not under any circumstances manually rename the .kepub to .epub within the calibre library directory. That's a sure way to foul up your calibre database.
