I don't think that is a kerning issue, it seems to be a separate bug in the kepub reader. It affects ellipses and other non-ascii punctuation too, adding unwanted space between the punctuation and the following letters, and upsetting the right justification. I don't know any way to avoid it other than to sideload the book as an epub instead.
Edit: mdash used as a quotation mark is a different issue, that is a publisher error. The mdash is a line break point; a proper
quotation dash (unicode U+2015) should be used instead of a mdash (unicode U+2014) for quotation. Both kepub and epub readers handle this correctly: they will both allow a line break between an mdash and a letter, but not between a quotation dash and a letter.
