Tshering, Where to write this code?
The code is supposed to go into the css file (that you can find inside of most epub files). Have a look at this post. There, you can also find an example book, so that you can simply test how it looks. The font that I recommended than is not any longer shipped with the kobo firmware, you have to find out yourself which font does the job best (maybe one of the Japanese fonts will work best). Looking at my old post, I see that it is not necessary to convert the books to kepub. I just did not remember correctly. If you are using Calibre you can possibly insert the above line of code without much effort into all your epubs. But I am not much of a Calibre user, so I cannot help you with this.

I would say, try my test file. You will see that there are some problems (many fonts do not display the punctuation marks and similar correctly, the positions for turning the pages is a little unexpected, etc.). If you then still want to go this way, try to figure out how to modify css settings with Calibre (or edit your epubs manually). If you need more help, ask again in this forum, but please not in this thread, with is dedicated to patching firmware 3.19.5761.
