The ePub reader has some features that the KePub reader lacks (and vice versa), and the ePub reader also does some things better than the KePub reader (and vice versa), so although some people prefer the KePub reader there are also others that prefer the ePub reader.
For example the ePub reader can use ligature substitutions if the font contains them, can understand CSS such as @page, page-break-after, and others that the KePub reader ignores, can lay out text correctly with narrow line spacings (even negative spacings) whereas the KePub reader suffers problems when the line spacing is narrower than a certain value.
In general, the KePub reader has more features, but the ePub reader does better at the basic job of laying out text.

To get a better control about the presentation of webpages, web authors use reset css.
Is there any good set of reset css for the kobo mechanisms?

Some publishers use it, but it will only reset some things and not others, and it can cause problems. It is usually best just to use the default values that the device sets and only force your own settings when it is really necessary.
For example, the ePub reader has an option of displaying page numbers in the margins, but if you set the body right margin too small (such as resetting to 0px) then those page numbers can overlap the text.
