As I said in the review I come from a background of mainly using a Kindle (since the Kindle 2 came out). Therefore I thought it worth mentioning for folks like me who are getting into a Kobo device for the first time since Kindle & Nook don't do anything like this. It wasn't a duh moment for me until a day or two before my Aura arrived when it was being posted about in a few of these threads. Many of the readers at Dear Author aren't at the level that many who hang out at places like MobileRead are.

If so, I don't see any real problem with the format displayed by them.

I wish the same thing could be posted (somewhere) showing how sideloaded
epubs look and perhaps we could have a contest to establish the best tweak
parameters, with screen photos to show the results.
There is a pic of each type posted side by side. I've attached the photo from the review below (left = ePub, right = kePub).
