2. in KePubs, kerning only works with TTF fonts that have 'old style' kerning tables.

If you use a program like fontforge to convert to TTF, enable 'old style' kerning tables, and remove hinting then you should have the ideal font format for Kobo e-ink devices.
As far as hinting goes, I find hinting works just fine with ePub (RMDSK). I have hinting on the font I use most and I have no issues with it.
