Something to keep in mind is that the kepub version of the book might not have been created from the epub version at all.

In some cases the pulisher's original might be say a Word document, and both the kepub and epub get created directly from the Word document. In other cases the kepub might get created from the Word document, but the publisher supplies a seperate epub that was created via a different process (such as a Calibre conversion of a mobi that was created from the original Word document, in which case the kepub version might be closer to the publisher's original than the epub is).
