Kobo devices come with two different readers, one used for Kobo's kepub format, and the other based on RMSDK used for epubs. Users can choose which reader they use for sideloaded books. The epub reader appears to support kerning, but the kepub one doesn't.

Here are screenshots from my Kobo Glo (firmware 3.13.1) with the Charta font downloded from this thread. The first is in the epub reader, the second in the kepub reader:
