AFAIK essentially all books on the Kindle store started as ePubs that were simply run through Amazon's conversion tool. That is to say everything ultimately comes from the same publisher-provided ePub document, even if it's subsequently been tweaked or converted a la mobi and kepub.

As for rendering engines, Kobo uses WebKit across the board. As does Apple. Not sure what others are using. The browser on the Kobos seems essentially identical in what it's capable of and in how it renders to the ePub app, aside from pageation.
