It depends on the book. For instance, I have an ESV Study Bible which has thousands of embedded links throughout, and it's a chore to navigate as an epub because it's so slow, and tapping on the small icons indicating endnotes is much more difficult with the epub rendering engine, not to mention the fiddly way it deals with endnotes which often don't open reliably even if you manage to successfully tap the small indicator. When I converted it to a kepub, I found that opening and navigation was significantly faster as was accessing endnotes which are easier to tap, which open as a convenient pop-up, and if you open the full endnote, it's super easy to return to where you were. For general reading, epub is fine (actually, I prefer it), but for specialized books with a lot of links, kepub has its advantages.
