Since you have a Kobo device, you should get good results if you:

1. Make sure all the font-size parameters are specified in resizable units, i.e. em, %, small/medium/large, rather than absolute units such as px, pt, etc.

2. Avoid use of the font shorthand property; e.g. replace "font: 12pt Times" with individual properties "font-size: 1em; font-family: Times;"

I haven't looked in to how to do this automatically though, the number of books I have found with these sorts of problems is quite small so I just edit the stylesheet manually.
