What I do sometimes is use Calibre to convert EPUB -> DOCX (or ODT). Then you can use the Compares in LibreOffice/Word.

In LibreOffice you can do Edit > Track Changes > Compare Document:

Attachment 155222 Attachment 155225

or in Microsoft Word you can do Review > Compare > Compare:

Attachment 155223 Attachment 155226

And here is a sample showing Calibre's EPUB Comparison:

Attachment 155224

In this case, my EPUB had hundreds and hundreds of very minor changes of Footnotes from:

Code:
<sup>##</sup> -> <a href="FootnoteStuff">[##]</a>
you might easily miss the "exPresidents" -> "ex-Presidents". Where using the visual method like in LibreOffice/Word, that tiny typo correction stands out more like a sore thumb.
Cool. I didn't know LO had such functionality. Thanks.
