I didn't even think of that interpretation. It would explain the comment.

@masterz87: Yes, I am talking about the users reading speed and hence how often they need to turn the page. The faster the reading speed, the more often the page is turned, the higher the power usage and the lower the battery runtime,

Different rendering engine. Personally, I don't care (a good ebook should render well in either one), but some people prefer one over the other.
Yes, the kepub renderer seems to be faster than the RMSDK epub renderer. I have no idea if this helps with the battery life, but the people who think the page turns are to slow when reading an epub, usually think the kepub renderer is good enough. Personally, I find the epub page speed enough. It works out to be about how long it takes for me to move my eye from the bottom right to the top left, so that's all I need. If I was going to convert to the kepub renderer, it would be because of the in-book stats. I love the chapter chart as a way of seeing where I am in the book.
