If you have an epub file, the Kobo uses the standard ADE reader like all the other ereaders. I'm not sure of this, and I'm not quite sure how to verify outside of a Kobo person confirming it, but I'm getting pretty suspicious...

I have the same suspicions. I've had a Kobo book though my iPod app for a month or two. Not knowing what I was really doing, I downloaded the epub file to my Kobo eReader. The two files won't sync up at all - meaning I can't read on one device then continue reading in the same spot on the other. ADE shows I have two versions of the book on my reader but I can't seem to find the other file on the reader. The version on my reader right now only shows chapter page counts.
I like to read one book at a time but when it's time for my next book, I will just download the mobile version and see what happens.
