Out of the box, RMSDK does kerning, better word spacing, hyphenation, ligatures, and better font rendering. The program used for KePub has display issues. It does not display nearly as well and if the line height is too small, you can get part of the top line of the next screen at the bottom of the previous screen. Also, with hyphenation and ligatures turned on, you can get the occasional weird spacing in a word or set of words. Also, turning on enhanced typesetting with KePub is not obvious and unless you know how, it cannot be done.
