However, in order to do any editing of the file, I have to change the file's extension before I can edit it, then change it back. This is a bit of a pain. Any ideas?
The simplest way to do it is to add the kepub as an epub. If you use the extended driver, it will send the book unchanged but fix the extension.

Otherwise, if you are willing to run calibre from source, I can tell you what changes to make to the source to edit kepubs.
