That functionality was intended for use when doing a quick and dirty check on how a book displayed as a kepub. In a "real" kepub, each sentence is wrapped in a span. This is assigned a unique id. The location system uses these ids. If you just change the extension, when you close and reopen a book, you will always be taken to the start of the chapter you were in and stored annotations will not be re-displayed in the book.

The KoboTouchExtended driver and kepubify will add those extra spans for you.
