Most of the books I sync with Kobo are cookbooks. Fiction I download though the majority of books I've recently downloaded don't require ADE being non-DRMed.

As for backup needing epub? I see little difference in backing up a kepub or an epub. Files is files.

I've read kepubs without using a Kobo ereader or app. I see little visible difference other than a couple of issues linked to epub3 features that are not supported by the majority of epub reading software. The extra spans and the cover image property are pretty much a non-issue.
