Well keeping in mind that I don't have an AuraHD and I don't sideload kepubs, for a Kobo-bought kepub on my Glo I would expect the kepub font to be about 17% larger, the kepub margins to be roughly 5mm wider, and the line spacing to be the same (or very close anyway).

Edit: Here is a test to see of the problem is being caused by the kepub conversion: Try taking a plain DRM-free epub and copying it directly to the device (don't use Calibre) with two different file names: one with an .epub extension, and the other with a .kepub.epub extension. Then open each book without making any adjustment to the font settings between openings.
