From your first post I took it that you couldn't change the font size from the device? My suggestions about specifying font sizes in units of em instead of pt etc. and of avoiding the font: shorthand property are just because they can prevent the device from being able to change the font settings for the book.

Kepubs and epubs are read using different software, and so there will be some differences when you change from epub to kepub even if the book itself is identical. I believe the base kepub font size is a bit larger than for epubs, as kepub base margins are larger. I usually have to decrease the font size slider a few notches and reduce the margin slider one notch when I finish reading an epub and open a new kepub, but it also depends on the sizes set in the book.

If the device's font size adjustment slider is working, but you want all books to have the same base font size so you can avoid adjusting the font size on the device, then that can be done by rescaling all the font sizes in the book's stylesheet, but I would say it is a lot more effort than it is worth, Easier just to spend a few seconds adjusting the font size when you first open the book.
