On a few devices you can add a generic UserStyle.css that applies to all ePubs, but on most devices you need to apply the extra CSS individually to each ePub via Calibre. This means that you need to do an ePub to ePub conversion under Calibre to get bold for ePubs.
I have old tired eyes so I thought I'd give this a whirl. Works well, with a couple of unexpected results:

1- When I typed "body {font-weight: bold} " inline, Calibre split it into three lines as in your example.

2- I converted from epub to mobi and the bold went with it and my K3 is now much easier to read.

Thanks for the info - it has been a real help.
