I have never checked to see what KTE or calibre 8+ will do with them. Hopefully, just a rename to .kepub.epub while sending.

An kepub is simply an ePub with a mass of added spans and some simple JavaScript. On a Kobo ereader or app, those are made use of. On any other platform, they are treated as null operations and disregarded. If you happen to run Modify ePub, with the Strip Kobo DRM remnants, Strip spans and Remove inline javascript and files, it does a decent job of de-kepubifying the files.

When I first started using KOReader, it did not like kepubs at all. When it did open them, they often displayed poorly. The obok imports all open just fine in KOreader, so its handling of kepubs must have improved.
