Or any other reference buy Kobo to support the format. They do work, and I don't think actual support will be removed. But, it wouldn't surprise me if the main reason it works is because the actual developers want it (makes some testing easier).
For annotations using the stylus, Kobo stated with the Elipsa that it would work with sideloaded epubs and PDFs. No mention of kepubs was made. I don't know if that was a deliberate choice or something missed somewhere. That it is not working for epubs with firmware 4.29.18730 on the Sage, is an error. Or at least, that is the feedback I have from Kobo.
