The biggest difference I can see offhand is that ePub is a container, and can contain more than text and images. It's quite possible to create an ePub volume with things like embedded video and audio.

I haven't encountered anyone actually doing that (save for an experimental proof-of-concept or two), but if it starts becoming common, Amazon will have to respond.
There are already Kindle books with audio and video available for the iOS app.
