You could have easily just DuckDuckGo'd this information, though. |

The two renderers have some differences in how text is displayed. To my tastes, RMSDK does a better job of rendering text/fonts while the Webkit based renderer is required when reading a epub3 ebook that makes use of the more advanced features such as fixed layout, embedded audio, etc. A simple search on MobileRead comes up with quite a few hits such as Epub vs kepub from 2021. Truly, the google fu is running weak these days. Last edited by DNSB; 12-24-2023 at 12:12 PM. |

There are few reasons why Kepubs are preferable to epubs but the main reason I opt for them is performance. Interacting with Kepubs is much snappier; a significant speed boost.

Of course, you could be running an older firmware where this used to be true. |

It's still pretty true today. It used to be much worse, true enough, but it's still fairly bad, especially compared to competitors (*mumble* kindles *mumble*).
