I've recently purchased a Kobo Glo HD after using the desktop Kobo app for a while to read some purchased ebooks. The desktop app appears to ignore a lot of book-specific formatting in order to display pages nicely within the window, but I was surprised to find that the Glo HD does not do this. Instead, my purchased ebooks have different default margins and line-spacing which cannot be changed (the sliders are disabled for Japanese books), and some English books ignore my font and justification selections. I'm disappointed by all this, because I thought that it would render the books like the desktop app does, and seeing as the sole purpose of the device is to render ebook pages, I had thought that it would do a better job. Reading through other forum posts, I believe that the formatting can be changed manually by DeDRMing books, importing them into Calibre, manually adjusting the files, and then sideloading the files onto the device. However, this adds a bunch of extra steps between buying a book and being able to read it, and moreover I can't get Calibre to work properly with vertical Japanese text. Instead of going through all of this, is it possible to put a single stylesheet on the device that will override book-specific styles or something like that?

Thanks for your help!
