Questioning isn't shaming. Answering in offending style it is.

Sorry, but there are so many problems with your response:
Firstly, as you are using the KoboTouchExtended driver, it isn't "just simple sideload epub". The driver is making changes to the book to transform it to a kepub.
Then it seems you are converting from Word to ePub. I'm not completely sure if the endash is in the Word document, or you have edited the ePub to add them in.
Then, I don't know how you know the endash has been changed to something else. Are you editing the kepub generated on the device? Or are you reading the book on the device and can tell the difference?
Then my comment about the "Smarten punctuation" was because if you have that option turned on in the driver, then maybe that is what is causing the problem. And that the only times I ever see endashes in books are when the "smarter" punctuation is in use. Whether that is because the tool that was used to create the book did this automatically, the conversion to epub did it or it was done as a separate step, I don't know. But, because of that, I was suggesting that you turn the smarten punctuation option off in the driver if you had turned it on. And whether it was on or off is important for anyone trying to reproduce the problem.
Now, to reproduce the problem, I have to create a test epub, send it to the device as an epub to see what happens. Then enable the KoboTouchExtended driver and send it to the device again to see what happens. Then examine the options available and see if there is a combination that trigger the fault. All that takes time. And I
am willing to spend the time. And I have demonstrated that here
many times. But, I also don't want to waste time if I am note sure what I am trying to achieve.
I have just tried to reproduce the problem. But, I'm stuck as to what to put in the sample. Do I just cut-and-paste what you have above and wrap p tags around each line? That's what I have done in the attached test case. When I send that to one of my devices using the KoboTouchExtended driver and what I think are the likely options, I don't see any changes in whether the character is an endash or not.
Or are the above what you see in the book when you send it to the device? Or is it in pairs? The first line is the input, the second line is the output?
