(-- Even if there's an 'Undo' feature in the program, please note that Ant Renamer will rename the files in the original directory by default, so make a backup of the original files in case you are just experimenting --)

Afterwards I added the resulting .kepub files to Calibre and sent them to Kobo: they are properly formatted, as expected.

Thanks again for the insights and for the very useful help! Learning curve is getting less steep by the day!
You would be better off downloading the ePub and using the KoboTouchExtended driver to send them to your Kobo as KePub.
