For me it does. I mainly like the 'one screen = one page' feature. This was handy for me when I was in the office and reading on a break.
It's not one screen = one page. It used to be, but there's some issue where it's mostly one screen = one page.

Only on a Kobo. You can zoom images in kepubs, which you can't do with epubs on a Kobo. They're also a bit faster.

The other features of kepubs, like page numbering and statistics don't matter to me personally.
KePub is not a bit faster. The only reason you may think so is because you don't any advanced typesetting turned on and in that case, you're better off with ePub.

Possibly related is the new format option offered by reader magnets such as Bookfunnel: kindle.epub

It's described as for Kindles and Send-to-Kindle.

They both show up on my PW2 when sent so I have no idea what the difference really is. It just seems like Amazon wants to put their stamp on a format once again. I suspect they'll find a way to make it proprietary pretty soon.
Because send-to-kindle takes epub and either doesn't take mobi anymore or won't soon.

Yeah, I don't understand why kepub has to exist. But I do like its features and it seems more harmless than KFX.
Definitely more harmless. It can be decrypted.

Why not upgrade RMSDK and add in image zoom and then we can do away with Kobo having a 2nd program to read eBooks.
Or switch to Readium.

They show up as KOBO EPUB when you look at the book list on your Kobo when it shows the eBook format.

I thought they we're talking about seeing files with that extension: filename.kobo.epub

Kepubs don't have file extensions on Kobos or Kobo Desktop so I was wondering where they'd seen that.

I don't care about advanced typesetting. I do have epubs on my Libra, because kepubs don't look so good on a smaller screen, but I prefer kepubs (definitely without advanced typesetting) on my Sage.

KePub looks a lot better with kerning and hyphenation.

I hate hyphenation and without it kepubs have spacing issues on a smaller screen, especially with kerning turned on. On the Sage kepubs are fine (without kerning). So I use epubs on the Libra. This solution suits me better than using hyphenation.

Did you not read pBooks because they have hyphens?

Paper books had considerably fewer hyphens than ereaders. And yes, I disliked them in the paper books too and would have gotten rid of them if it had been possible.

Close enough to be practically the same thing.
