Do people shopping in the Kobo store know that if they download directly through they're device they're getting a kepub, which is better suited for the Kobo since it uses Webkit, and if they download off the website they're getting an epub (in most cases) that uses Adobe's inferior engine when loaded onto a Kobo?
That's a mostly rhetorical question, no need to guess at what other people know or don't know.

Most people don't notice any difference. And there really isn't that much noticeable difference, unless you're trying to notice the differences.
As far as 'better suited' both renderers have their good points and their issues.

Again, thank you so much!

Kobo has the same relationship with the ebook, regardless of which avenue you get it through. As long as you're reading it on a Kobo device or app. If you have gone outside the Kobo universe...
