I have been doing that too since May 2010 when I bought my first Kobo. I changed (if truth be told) mostly because I wanted to try things this way, for a change and because I really, really like the advantages kepubs have, at the moment. I fully expect the differences between kepubs and epubs to be negligible in the long term.

I convert kindle books in calibre. Choosing the kepub-epub bit is just a matter of choosing the driver of one's choice. The built in driver by davidfor is excellent. I was just exploring the new driver. I may change back, as so far, the ones created with the new driver, while great in terms of formatting, don't seem to show up in library searches. This may be something I am doing wrong.

EDIT: Yup, totally my fault. I had both drivers on (odd how that happened). Once I disabled the built in one, restarted calibre, and connected my Aura, all was well.

And Jon, when I alter the line height using calibre, I use 1.2. The line spacing choices in kobo really don't make it necessary all that often.
