I have a mix of kepub and epub on my Kobo and I'm struggling to figure out the difference. I see others have mentioned the typography, but I don't quite get it. Doesn't kepub offer the same options regarding size, line space, margins, weight as epub? Or do they "just" render things differently (I guess rendering is what opened the Pocketbook discussion...)
I'm sorry if I'm really stupid now, but I seem to be able to do what I want with the kepub I tried just now. I actually (surprisingly!) do most of my reading on the Tolino at the moment so maybe I just haven't paid enough attention to what things look like at the Kobo, and until recently I only had epubs on it.
