It depends on your goals, too, I guess. If you're simply looking for a conversion from a Kindlebook to an EPUB, then there's probably very little difference for you.
But KindleUnpack (originally MobiUnpack) began life as an inspection/extraction tool for Kindle books. Markup was extracted with as much attention to detail as possible. There are no assumptions/changes made when unpacking a Kindle book with KindleUnpack.
Massaging that unpacked Kindle book markup into an EPUB was a relatively new feature for KindleUnpack. And to be quite frank: the resulting EPUB can be quite the non-compliant mess unless the Kindle book in question was actually
created from an epub in the first place (granted: most of them are made from EPUBS any more).
