Well for starters, Kobo's ePub renderer doesn't properly support right to left Japanese vertical writing. So maybe they're trying to avoid customers using ADE and having a bad experience on their devices?

Didn't they at some point though? Or did you have to do that on books.rakuten.co.jp? Could have sworn I've done that before. Ah, looks like it's gone and replaced with a read in browser option for comics and magazines. So perhaps an omen of things to come.
