I am using Calibre and I have downloaded the Kepub Output Plugin as I was planning to use Kepub.
Thanks,

There's threads on here comparing ePub to kepub.
From memory:
ePub:
- Uses Adobe page numbers, so page 27 always has the same text no matter what size font you use
- Better layout and font rendering
Kepub:
- One screen=one page. So if a chapter is 13 pages, tapping the screen 13 times will get you to the next chapter
- Zoomable images
- Pop-up footnotes
I prefer kepub myself. I disliked the ePub page numbers, where a 13 page chapter could require anywhere between 13-39 page turns.
