The newest ADE I have (4.5.12?) is not capable of some of the features available on Kobo' renderer. Handling ruby is one example. A typical Japanese newspaper page where multiple text directions are mixed in the same page will also look very strange on ADE.

As for doing away with kepub? Kobo is reducing the use of RMSDK in their latest firmware. The only reason for keeping it is for handling Adobe ADEPT DRM. Given that Kobo's Tolino devices already handle LCP and the latest firmware uses Kobo's renderer for everything except ADEPT DRM encumbered epubs, what is the pressure on Kobo to update RMSDK?
