My biggest problem with ePub is that the page numbers are fixed when the book is originally digitized and will not reflow when you change type size. BBeB always seemed able to do that.
BBeB has a number of issues that ePub overcomes. Also, given that the T1 has 8 different font sizes, that means that the difference between them is going to be smaller then it was in BBeB. One thing that was a big issue in some eBooks with BBeB was the fact that BBeB mishandled em-dashes so instead of splitting at the em-dash, it moved word—word onto the next line leaving huge gaps.

But to be honest, with BBeB, it's stuck to a Sony Reader. ePub goes with you to any other reader except a Kindle.
