To read on the Kobo. The Kobo ereader does not know what a .kepub file is. You need the double extension to have it handled properly.
From
Sideloading for Testing Purposes on the KoboLabs epub-spec site on Github.
Quote:
Kobo encourages the testing of content on all its reading platforms by sideloading. Content should display identically whether sideloaded or downloaded to a device from the Kobo store. Instances where this is not the case can be reported to renderingissues@kobo.com and the EPUB in question will be logged for investigation.
Here’s how to sideload content on Kobo's reading platforms:
eInk
Connect the device to your computer via USB.
Find the drive on your computer in Finder or Windows Explorer.
Drag your EPUB onto the device. To trigger the Kobo WebKit, change the file extension to .kepub.epub. To trigger the Kobo WebKit for a Fixed Layout title, change the extension to .fxl.kepub.epub. (If the extension is left unchanged it will render using the Adobe Digital Editions WebKit. This is the default display engine for sideloaded content to enable bookmarking, searching and highlighting.)
Disconnect your device. The file will automatically appear in your library.
Sideloaded EPUBs with the ".fxl.kepub.epub" or ".kepub.epub" will disable bookmarking and note keeping. Thumbnails for covers may not display. Otherwise the reading experience and content display will be identical to how the file would display when loaded through the store. Leaving the extension as ".epub" will enable bookmarking and note keeping and will trigger the ADE display engine.
