To be fair, the first page says "You can add any supported file types to Dropbox and it will be added to your eReader after you sync."
I don't think most people would expect that 'supported file types' included Kobo's own ePub version, which apparently it doesn't, according to the second page.
I understand how that can make sense, if you understand Kobo's other positions, but it is extremely non-intuitive.
Once people understand that renaming the files works, I think this could be quite a useful feature. I could see myself using it if it was extended to other models.
