Yes, but I don't just mean stylistic or preference issues with ebooks. I have purchased ebooks that have major performance issues on the KT when using the native file. Take the last two I have bought;
a) epub from O'Reilly -- The large images in the book did not display properly, and everytime you opened the book with KT would freeze for literally ~20 seconds. Re-writing it with Calibre fixed it. The book would open at the normal speed, and the images would display properly.
b) epub from Kobo (not a kepub) -- ~650 pages of text was all presented in single chapter file in the epub. It's been documented in another thread the performance issues this causes.
here. This was problematic on the previous firmware, not just 2.0.0
My experience is that ebook publishing is still quite new and not that robust in terms of quality. That's fine, as long as it's recognised that side loading is an important and supported method.
