Personally I couldn't care less about kerning and ligatures. I do care about word spacing, but I can live with the kepub word spacing on a 8" Sage. On a 7" Libra I prefer epub.
Just what I was after!
I'm usually not too fussy about spacing. As long as I can get the font size/weight, line spacing and margins comfortable I'm happy.
