When I create ePubs from AZW3 files in Calibre they flow well in all my eReaders, including patched Kobos. (Calibre is a fantastic program. Even an idiot like me can successfully use it.)
Some of this is tied into design decisions where Kobo ereaders respect the CSS internal to the epub. So if someone decides setting widows and orphans to 3 is a good idea, you can end up with wide blank spaces at the bottom of a page as text is moved to the next page to prevent widows at the top of a page or orphans at the bottom of a page. Even the default of 2 in RMSDK can waste a lot of space.
