There are people who are really OCD about typography who prefer the way ADOBE renders text. I'll let him jump in and explain.
There is a patch to "un-force font-family settings" for both KePubs and epubs. For the kepub one, there's even three different options to choose from, that affect how strongly user/publisher settings are prioritised.


Epub advantages include ligatures and kerning (there is a way to get kerning to work in KePub but not all fonts do it unmodified), better full justification and more accurate hyphenation. But, it is slower to open, highlighting is more cumbersome, and if you use sideloaded fonts, it really does need separate files to display italics, bold and boldItalic text.
