I have to say it all depends. Out of the epub3 ebooks, I've purchased from Kobo there have been a few that were real epub3 books and RMSDK/ADE had some odd issues with them (opening in ADE 4.5 running in a VM did a decent job of displaying the content). This does not count the 3 that were FLO epub3 ebooks -- those required the .fxl.kepub.epub extension to look good on my eInk ereaders. ADE in either version I tested and RMSDK were interesting to look at but rather unreadable.
