Is there some way that I can do the side loading of the library epub via Calibre and thus convert it to kepub as I side load?

Note: I do NOT want to remove the DRM on the public library book; I just want to have it on my Glo HD as a kepub rather than epub.
Most library eBooks have DRM. because of this, you cannot edit the book. If the CSS says the eBook is to be left justified, then it will be. The font size you should be able to change using the AA menu in ADE. Sometimes eBooks have the line-height set in CSS and I don't think you could set it any smaller. Margins are also set in CSS and no way to set those smaller.

But, try the AA menu and see if you can change the settings you want and see what works and what doesn't. That's the best you can do. There is no way to convert an ePub with DRM to a kepub.
