In my experience this just isn't so. I had a Kobo Aura (now have the H2O) and none of my hundreds of books were purchased from Kobo and they all work to change font sizes, margins and line spacing. They will all change font weight as well, as long as you are using a preinstalled font, although this can be made available to custom fonts as well by using the patches that are well documented on this site. There are probably some books that won't allow this level of customisation, but the vast majority seem to be absolutely fine.
