For KOReader, there shouldn't be that much if any difference between epub and kepub since the spans that are added to kepubs should not affect the display. If you have some of the old kepubs that used javascript, that could make a difference.
David,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I am building my library from scratch. I can purchase from Amazon, Kobo, Google, etc. and use Calibre if needed to convert into whatever format is required. I'll use DeDRM_tools_6.6.1 w/ Calibre as well.

2. If I purchase books from KOBO, won't those books be in kepub format?

3. If using KA1 with native software, doesn't the file format have to be kepub?

4. For PDF's, I'll view those on a monitor, not the KA1 (or Oasis if I determine I like that better).

5. Excluding price, which seems to be very similar between most providers, which service is easiest to use? For Kindles, obviously Amazon. For KA1, would it be the Kobo store?
TIA,
Dino
