I prefer kepub. Several reasons:
  • The number of pages adjusts when changing font sizes. Though, as mentoned above, YMMV for this.
  • I like the little graph showing the chapter lengths.
  • You can zoom in on images.

I believe that Kobo Store always (or almost always; it's possible there's a setting for this that I can't remember) downloads the kepub.

If you use the standard KoboTouch driver to sideload with Calibre, you'll get ePubs. KoboTouchExtended sends kepubs instead.

The KTE driver can also selectively pick which books to kepubify. My template checks that "send as epub" is not in #admintags.

(note: 'in' is an error; it should be 'inlist'. I corrected it.).

The inverse would be program: if 'send as kepub' inlist $#admintags then 'True' fi
