So are you saying that 1em on the Aura is a different size then 1em on a 650? What size did you set that you think matched 1em on the 650?
And yes, since em is a relative measurement after all -- 1 em for a 28 point type is different from 1 em for a 6 point type. The numbers used by Kobo seem to have little to do with any real world measurement hence my measuring with a caliper and matching the displayed sizes.
