I have tested with a few books and can't 'see' a difference but that's a very small sample size. I am planning to store the epubs in calibre (as epubs are most compatible). I just wanted to check that I won't end up with a worse result by doing so
I don't know how the epub or kepub was made by standard ebooks. I do think they do a superb job at cleaning up some books from project Gutenberg and producing books that look great on e-readers. So not really sure what the garbage reference is

The thing is, with the KePub from Standard eBooks you don't know how it was made. The plugins to make KePub within calibre did have some bugs. However there is also the program KePubify that could have been used. I cannot say. That's why it's best to get the ePub and convert to KePub with calibre. this way you know how it's made. The KePub code has been redone in calibre and is now natively supported.
