PocketBooks pages look good in ePub 3. I think they do use a newer version of RMSDK.

Kobo needs RMSDK for the DRM. Otherwise the only place to get DRMed eBooks would be from Kobo and those that were DRM free would not work.

On a Kobo, hinting is not needed. Fonts look the same hinted or not. |

Good topic, very interesting!!
I have just uploaded in the two screens about the rendering of modified Andika font (by Barty user https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ght=andika+ink) on my Clara 2E. Same ebook, epub on the left. The epub version seems awful to me..and, it happens exactly the same with my kindle paperwhite, where andika looks softer and muche more definite, elegant while using kfx converted ebooks. I also see some little differences among them about font size and line height. In the overall, I prefer kepub format too though Epub is standard and kobo format is a proprietary one...it's a shame! |

One minor nit is that a kepub ebook is an ePub ebook with added spans and a few other bits and bobs. You can use a kepub on your Pocketbook or other ePub ereader with very few if any noticeable differences from the ePub version. The added spans basically do nothing when not using the Kobo WebKit based renderer.

With Kobo, people will buy from Kobo book store and they will have a great experience with Kepub. Others will have the choice to buy from almost any other stores. ePub or Kepub? Kepub has more options with Kobo. Why go with less when you can have more? Quote:

Loads of normal users do not use a kindle App or a Kindle ereader. Also Kobo users can buy epubs from every dedicated ebook store except Amazon, without conversion. B&N is tied to Nook and has physical stores. Apple doesn't have an ereader, only an App. Last edited by Quoth; 03-19-2024 at 03:08 PM. |

By normal users, I mean normal users of their dedicated ereader, and in my comment, I was talking about Kindle users. But you already knew that, right? You just like to mess around? |
