I checked again. Your right there are no left and right margins for kepubs either. I don't know why the margin slider was in the "1" position (could this be a default setting?) instead of "0" (slider to the far left) as I don't read kepubs.
This changes the outcomes to:
kepub: 79.785%.
epub: 90.527%

I agree. Would "country of origin" play a part in this? Like American publishers automatically format for Kindle because these devices have the largest market penetration? And the epub version is derived from it?
Slightly off topic (but layout related)
I asked Kobo (Netherlands) nicely if they could fix my problematic kepubs (you know the 'older books' with empty lines between p-tags, etc.) by simply reconverting or reprocessing these books to update the books to the latest "kobo code" modifications.
Their answer was: no.
While I've read here (and other forums too) that Kobo does fix these books in other countries where Kobo is active. Why isn't this standard policy for all countries?
