Still, looking at the file extension should be easier anyway. But of course Windows makes that difficult, I forgot.

I just tried a couple of library books that are Adobe's ADEPT DRM protected. 7Zip opens the archive and shows the contents. That is pretty much the behaviour you would expect from any program that is epub standard compliant.
As for Windows making it hard to see file extensions? I've never noticed that much difficulty -- show extensions for known file types, apply, apply to folders which I do once when setting up a new computer. Perhaps you were thinking about Linux systems where starting a file or directory name with a period hides it? Ahh... the joys of remembering what
dotglob does. Mac OSX makes it even more fun with a hidden attribute and we mustn't forget Gnome's .hidden filelist file.
Pretty much every OS I've used since OS/8 has had it's quirks.
Another issue is that a Kobo .kepub.epub book as downloaded by the Kobo desktop application or directly to the ereader via WiFi does not have a file extension -- the file name is a hexadecimal string with no extension, sample being 5e5eee09-e4e7-45bb-b46e-1c4902fbbe43. Care to guess from that string what the book title/author is?
