I have a post in the "Ultimate Tricks" tread with a more comprehensive list of tweaks to get the most of it, but just installing that plugin should get you started to see the difference.
Thank you! I will give that a try. I presume this is the post of interest in that huge thread:

I just have two quick questions:

1) kobo_extra.css should be placed in the root / of the device, correct? Not in the .kobo...

2) When I send a book with Calibre, it will still have the .epub extension? I did notice that diff says that the file on device in Calibre and Aura are different so I'm guessing it worked. Plus the Kobo reader reports it as "Kobo Epub" in list view so I'm guessing all is working!

It's amazing how much better the kepub is from epub! Oh, and the arrow is showing up perfectly in all of the fonts I tried.

Should I also sideload Arial Unicode just so it can be used for some weird character?

Duly noted. Will give it a try but will double check things for weird side-effects.
