The patch for KEPUB word spacing is only useful if you use a small font. The larger your font size is, the less effect the patch will have. The patch effectively does nothing when your font is big.

The default reader is showing illustration larger for kepub than epub, at least on the one book I tried. It's expanding them to the left and right edges.

It did not use the formatting from the prior open book, so I had to redo font size, etc. I'm using a larger font size, about 14 lines/page, so it seems I can ignore the word space patch.

A tutorial six page popped up when I opened the book, how to turn pages, the meaning of icons, etc.

And, yes, if you hold down a button it scrolls forward or backward, depending.

Yeah, you definitely won't see any difference with the patch. I get around 20 lines per screen, and the patch has no effect, other than moving the words a pixel or two. Unless your font size is so small that the few reclaimed pixels allows you to fit an extra word on the line, the patch isn't useful.

You can double tap on images to open the image viewer, which lets you zoom and pan.

The image viewer is a definite advantage to kepub.

Some words at the right margin are hyphenated in kepub, even with left justification. None were with epub books.

There are some one line widows/orphans. Top and bottom margins are smaller. You can set a secondary font in case the primary doesn't work.

That's all I've noticed so far.
