Maybe 1% of my books are bought from Amazon.
A lot of my ebook reading is proofing from wordprocessor source, converted direct to epub for my Kobo. My best beta reader uses a Kindle.
Some is from Gutenberg, which has minimal formatting and needs the paragraph spacing changed. They have a strange idea that paragraph breaks need extra vertical space AND a first line indent.
I use no indent on first paragraph after a break of any kind, with some vertical space. Other body paragraphs have a 1st line indent and no extra vertical space. I found that kepubs from some sources have an incorrect first line indent. The same sources converted to old mobi, azw3/KF8, epubs (on any ereader) are all correct.
Most of my other reading is on paper.
A kepub is NOT an epub! Not as far as uploading to Smashwords or Amazon or the epub based ereaders I have. No doubt that's why the Kobo extended Driver on Calibre leaves the epubs unchanged in library and does on the fly conversion, which is not the same as some Kobo kepubs, as they will have no formating not in the epub.
Similarly an Amazon KFX has no advantage for the user compared with azw/KF8 when the source uploaded to Amazon was an epub2.
I know nothing about epub3. The epub2 and AZW3/KFX both allow an ebook via Calibre almost identical to the Wordprocessor view on screen or paper proof, if set to a similar size page.
