If you simply rename an ebub to .kepub.epub, it will use the ACCESS renderer and you can highlight, etc. Book progress will be remembered depending on other glitches in Kobo's coding though those seem to have affected epubs recently. With the spans in place, it does make it easier to select text and more reliable when remembering the location.

That's more a difference between the two renderers. RMSDK seems to be more consistent in it's handling of justification especially when you have ligatures enabled. If you send a kepubified epub as an epub or send an epub simply renamed to .kepub.epub, you will notice the differences. This happens with either a kepubified epub or a non-DRMed kepub downloaded to your computer using the Kobo desktop app or copied from your ereader.
