See if simply editing the filename without the kepub part fixes it if you can't remove DRM and convert to epub2.

The kepub is proprietary Kobo and renders less accurately, despite having extra features, so try it as epub, either by renaming (delete and recopy renamed version so as to update kobo database) or conversion with Calibre to epub2, if possible.

Plenty of English catches out people not from England! I stayed not far from Worcester. Rough, tough and dough? Also pronunciation or not of penultimate 'r' and of the vowels is totally regional.

It's fun hearing visitors trying to pronounce Irish place names, because despite using a Roman like alphabet 1000 years before Anglo-Saxon Runes existed, the pronunciation might be closer to Hindi and Hebrew than any European language, though there are Latin loan words earlier than in English, like for gold and silver.
I once knew more Hebrew than Irish and still know almost no Irish due to going to the wrong sort of school.
