I started at 1px because I was just curious to see how it looked. I was wondering how small I could get before I could actually read the text (though probably not all that comfortably).

The thing is, I cannot get any absolute font size to work. px, em, pt all fail to show a different font size. Kobo has gone too far in overriding the font size.

I see a lot of code that uses a p with a style like <p class="chapter"> and in .chapter is a font size of say 1.5em which might not display as 1.5em and thus, the chapter titles will look and be off.
