Again, I disagree. Minor differences in image handling and typography aside, there is no effective difference between epub and kepub - kepub is literally "k" epub. Sending either to your Dropbox for later retrieval on your Kobo does not require a computer, any more than emailing an epub to your Kindle does.

It's absolutely fine if you prefer Kindle's system, but it's not intrinsically superior. If you read a lot of epubs, there is even chance that Kobo is a better choice since it will open them without any conversion - and some feel the typography is superior to kepubs. And if a kepub is deemed absolutely essential, there's always this option which works on phones.
