If they are both epubs, you can use calibre to do a comparison. But, if they are different editions, then the differences in styles will probably mean there are to many differences to see what the real differences are. But, converting both to plain text and comparing those should give a good indication of whether the text has changed. You probably want to strip the front and back matter before doing that. And watch for things like one edition using "Chapter x" in one and just "x" in the other. Or differences in what sort of quotes are used.
