It seems you have to convert everything to kobo's kepub format for there to be any space at the top otherwise the words start exactly at the top of the page with no space. It looks very odd to me and throws off the visual balance of the page, imo. Basically, I don't like the way e-pubs are rendered and converting everything in my library to kepub seems a hassle to me. If someone can advise me on something I'm missing here, I'd love to know if there's an easy workaround for this. I'm new to the Kobo so realize I could be missing something.

There are easy fixes for these issues. The top and bottom page margins can be set automatically for epubs sent from Calibre. (An even smaller bottom margin, or top/bottom margins adjustable from the device, can be achieved with a firmware patch). There are a lot of other things that can be done to customise the way epubs are displayed without resorting to converting them to kepubs.
Spoiler:
Create a file named 'kobo_extra.css' in the root directory of your device containing e.g.:
Code:
@page {margin: 10pt 0 0 0;}
div, p {orphans:1;widows:1;}
and tick the 'Modify CSS' box in Calibre's KoboTouch driver configuration.
