You don't need to deal with kepub if you do not want to. I don't. I side load ePub and it work very well.

You know I don't understand why Amazon cares about the few people who jailbreak their kindle anyway. I guess back in the day when you could use 3g they didn't want people to freeload on their network, but they put a cap on that. JB now is just about freedom and customization and has little if any impact on their business, so I don't know why they just don't look the other way. But no they have to be like every body else and be a d!#k about it and exert every last bit of control.
I can understand why Amazon is against jailbreaking. If something goes wrong, Amazon is the one who gets calls about it. But what I don't understand is that instead of jailbreaking, why doesn't amazon give more functionality so there would be less or no need to jailbreak.
