I'm not certain what Auto does since it seemed to have little effects in my testing.
This was testing by adding one of the following lines under the [Reading] heading in the Kobo eReader.conf file and seeing what if any changes it made in the visual appearance of my test file:
Code:
webkitTextRendering=auto
webkitTextRendering=geometricprecision
webkitTextRendering=optimizelegibility
webkitTextRendering=optimizespeed

Also, there is the patch to reduce the space between words for KePub. You may have to play around with it to get it to a value you prefer with your chosen font. It does make a difference and KePub does look better. Not better then ePub with RMSDK but better then KePub would look otherwise.
Another advantage to ePub is that the Count Pages plugin does the page numbering for ePub but it cannot do the page numbering for KePub.
