If you have to rely on the extremely lackluster Kobo bookstore to get readable books, then FAIL.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. There appears to me to be very little difference between how a particular non-Kobo epub looks on my Sony PRST1 and how it looks on the Kobo Glo. Admittedly Kobo has a mildly annoying quirk with very long paragraphs, but the ease of customising text display outweighs it (personal opinion only, of course).
Yes, kepubs display slightly differently because they support some epub3 features. Some will prefer the kepub-look to the standard-look and some vice versa. But as you can easily make your standard epubs use the kepub renderer if you want, no-one needs to be too disappointed.
