Kepub has three main obvious differences:
1) The layout, spacing and hyphenation is different.
2) Footnote links might sometimes work as pop-up boxes.
3) You can zoom an image.
In theory all that can be done with epub (which is what simply renaming an epub on a Kobo does, but that mysteriously breaks annotations etc).
I used it at first and then switched to regular epub as I prefer it and it's closer (or the same) as other epub eink makes, azw3 on a KK3 or PW3 and converted LibreOffice Writer source (via extra docx). Only Kobo uses kepub and maybe only StandardeBooks uses it as well as Kobo (Direct WiFi only). Download to PC from Kobo shop gives epub or an acsm ticket that gives epub. It's proprietary and epub is an open standard.
Some people prefer the kepub, but using kepub output plug-in conversion or kepubify is the way to do that, not a simple rename.
