As soon as I updated, I opened a kepub and it looked like I was reading a large print book. My settings hadn't changed but it seemed like Kobo's type scale did. If I bump the kepub font size down to a reasonable size, then sideloaded epubs show up tiny and unreadable. This is similar to the margin discrepancy but it's probably about 3 levels of font size difference between kepubs and epubs.

I searched the thread but couldn't find any other reports about this issue.

Attached are two images, the first showing a kepub, the second an epub. Exact same font settings for both.
Might this be due to the css settings in the epub? From what I recall, this might not be fully overridden by the kobo settings. (It may be that the font is overridden but the font size setting isn't). I found this frustrating with margin settings for epubs until I took a sledgehammer to the css files in them.
