The alternative is to use calibre to convert both to text. Then do a text comparison of the results.

Also, the third thing you marked is not a difference. That's a unicode character - probably an emdash. The calibre editor marks unicode characters them in yellow to make it easy to see. The differences are on the lines that have the blue background. The grey background is to give some context around the changes.
Thanks David. I'm still not sure I understand though. The files are the same files. Even if I just take a comma out of one of them, then compare them, all that markup will be in there.

The convert to text worked very well. I converted to text and then plopped them into Diffchecker and the differences were very apparent.
