It depends on the whether you are reading the kepub or epub version. The kepub version is downloaded directly to the device from the Kobo servers. You can adjust the CSS on the device using a file. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=218814 for details.

If you are reading the epub version, you can edit it after removing DRM. Or, the Kobo driver in calibre can add some extra CSS during the send that can probably solve this.
