I did a simple A/B comparison between epub and kepub using the ESV Global Study Bible which is a particularly complex file (thousands of embedded links), and the kepub version does seem to open and operate faster, I assume because it's using the kepub rendering engine.

If there was a way to force the Aura to always use that engine even with epubs, that would be great. Actually, what would be ideal is a software switch that allows you to change the rendering engine on the fly.
Yeah, responding to myself.

I guess the solution at the moment is to only convert those books that would actually benefit from kepub features, such as any book with embedded footnotes/endnotes.
