The difference is the spacing betweens words and letters. There are special rules for that in the book printing craft. I do not know the details, but there is a difference between HTML-Like text and printed text on paper, where all the rules of typesetting are obeyed.

It might not make a large difference for text only. But if it comes to newspapers and magazines. I tried them on the kindle. I think these would need a professional layout AND images, formatted specially for the paper size of the kindle. I didn't like the way newspapers show on the kindle. Not worth the money ...
