And you can send your books in kepub format as well if you want to using calibre.
You don't get the 'features' such as reading stats from within your book for an epub and some fonts may look better, although I don't think significantly better. and you can always get the stats etc. from the home page.
Kepubs also give you a chapter bar instead of page x of xxx and a title at the top but I prefer the epub format so far. It doesn't seem to me that Kobo has taken any thing away from epubs, they have just added some extras to kepubs, which personally I don't even want and certainly don't need
My biggest problem is with the time taken to load shelves. Much slower than Sony or Kindle with far fewer books and/or shelves so I would advise you to load your books a few 100 at a time and don't have any shelves with more than 20 books on them. If you do put on 10,000 books and have shelves for them I would be interested to know how long your shelves take to show up.
Overall though it is very nice, even if I don't really care for the case, the reading experience is great.

Great news, as lazy as I am, I much prefer to not have to do anything to
my current files. Do you see much difference between how a screen full
of text looks in the photos of the "Dear Author" article and your sideloaded
regular epubs? Is there really a great deal more whitespace, in the regular
epubs?

be v9.1.1 or greater
