I think I'll stick with the standard ePubs then and save the hassle of converting them all to KePub.
There is plenty of discussion about the difference between epubs and kepubs. The highlights are:
  • In book stats including a bar graph showing the progress through the book and each chapter.
  • Page count can be per chapter.
  • Display of time remaining for the book and chapter.
  • Footnotes displayed a a popup.
  • Book title displayed at the top of the screen.
  • Better support for epub3.

There are some difference in rendering and how the styles are interpreted.

If you are using calibre, you don't need to convert the books to kepub. You can use the KoboTouchExtended driver to do the conversion on the fly.
