KePub start life as ePub.They graphics are not changed and neither is the code to display them. As for direct downloading, You do get that with DRM free ePub. I've not seen KePub skew graphics.

Way of the Kings is a Tor eBook so has no DRM. It could have been downloaded from Kobo or Overdrive as ePub. And I know what the problem is that's not a problem. When The Way of the Kings was first released, the chapter graphics were made small and narrow. The current version (both ePub and Kindle) have the chapter graphics made larger and wider. It's not that the ePub is off compared to the Kindle version. It's that the ePub is more recent and the Kindle is an old version. The current Kindle version has the graphics the way it's being seen in the ePub. There is noting wrong at all with the formatting of the chapter graphics except in the original version that has them too small.
