I wonder how your font's GSUB lookup tables are set out. Perhaps there is a way to make the KePub reader display ligatures for other fonts too, by editing the GSUB tables?

I have run the font through
FontSquirrel’s Webfont Generator which can fold OpenType features into the font (hlig in this case), so it’s possible that had done something strange along the way. It is odd that the problem only shows up in kepub though.
Although I have FontForge I’ve barely used it. Is it simply a matter of checking
Old Style ‘kern’ in the font generation options? I notice there’s also a
Windows-compatible ‘kern’ option — is that required as well? I had been using the OTF version.
I should probably go back and do some more testing.
