(OK, you don't "need" them per se, as you can always use CSS, but not everybody marks up its eBooks as correctly as should be, and Calibre is not really good in creating clean code. It works very well, but it's not very clean.)

There are others with Sigil etc. experience that could answer this more accurately than I, but from what I remember there were a subset of epubs where the publisher set the spacing for X and the Kobo didn't override it. If it had no explicit setting it would let you change it. A newer firmware now allows it to override the settings on most (but not quite all) epubs even if the publisher has set it explicitly. That's why I would be surprised if the Aura didn't allow you to change this on sideloads. Kobo took a lot of grief on it the 1st time around, I don't think they'll regress on it.
