This book is originally an EPUB bought from Kobo. On the KPW1, that same book (as an AZW3), has popups. The KA1 is using a KEPUB converted by the Kobo Touch Extended driver.

It depends on the book and the note, and I never understood why some popped up and some went directly to the notes file - it doesn't depend on size for one. The notes were one of the reasons I chose kepubs when I moved to Kobos (from Sony). I had great difficulties calling notes from epubs, which were solved with kepubs in my former Kobos, but it is more difficult for me on the One (I have more difficulties choosing anything in the One). I think my arthritic fingers have difficulties interacting with the capacitive layer: when I try calling from the bottom line I often get the next right icon, when I try to type, I must use the pulpiest part of my fingers - usually the ring or little finger of either hand are best.
FYI I have only kepubs and PDFs on my Kobos, and all but two of the kepubs are converted by Calibre when tranferred to the devices. The two were problem books which I had to convert in Calibre before sending for them to work.
The main reason I would choose kepubs in any case is the look of them : I don't like the rendering of epubs in Kobos, and I am one of those (a minority???) who prefer header, footer, and some margin on the sides. I think any book, and more particularly poetry, looks better this way. I like that the increased real estate allows bigger margins - and longer lines.
I like the reading stats at the bottom too: so comfortable for deciding when to interrupt (before sleeping or whatever).
