I put the version Kobo syncs directly to my Forma back on the device, found the proper file (bf6d5ca1-9ed8-4eb4-80f0-f0377e129e78), copied it to my computer's drive, tacked a .zip extension on, and unzipped it. Looking at the content.opf for the downloaded version and the synced version, they're identical (I had Notepad++ do a comparison). The one thing that strikes me right off is that the toc.ncx file in the synced version contains actual information instead of the "Start" stub in the downloaded version. Glancing at the .xhtml files, all of them appear to have been edited for styles in the synced version for kobo devices (I'm guessing).
My guess is Martha Wells sent her raw epub over to Kobo who then tweaked it slightly to meet their standards. Perhaps they don't have us download that version because of the kobo specific style changes.
