It's because StandardEbooks code is bad. They use overly complicated CSS code and a lot of their eBooks don't work well with RMSDK because of what RSMSDK perceives are errors. So don't tske what they say as the truth. They spin it because of their poor code. And they lie as well.
Compatible ePub is not compatible enough with RMSDK.
Also, Advanced ePub is worthless as there's no need for it. Have you ever seen a public domain book that needs
An advanced format that uses the latest technology not yet fully supported by most ereaders? Of course not, because there are none.
If I ever downloaded any of their eBooks, I would have to mostly redo them because their CSS mostly needs to be scrapped.

I've been reading most of my books as EPUB with one KEPUB I bought from Kobo, and I didn't notice any difference between the two formats, other than the page renumbering and reading statistics options that KEPUB offers. I'm not entirely sure what supposed deficiency exists in the ADE renderer, as it seems fine to me.

There is nothing wrong with reading ePub. It's best to read with KePub if the eBook has images that you might want to zoom, lots of footnotes, or ePub 3 CSS code that does not work with ePub that you want to work,
