I have a Kobo Aura H2O which is brand new. When I set the font size, all text sizes change, but the quoted text (which is italic and indented) in my EPUB is too small for me. Is it possible to change just the size of the quoted text? It's in a <blockquote> block.

I've gone through many menus and screens looking for options, and done a Google search and still haven't found how to change the size of only the quoted text.
I would agree with what JSWolf said. The CSS for the epub is setting the font size smaller for the quotes. If the epub is not DRMed or you are willing to remove the DRM, you can use Sigil (from your signature, you already have it) or Calibre's ebook editor. Personally I prefer Sigil but either will work. What you would need to do is to look at the <blockquote> and see if it includes a class=, if the class is applied to the text inside the blockquote or if both have a class=. Basically, what you would then do is to open the stylesheet and edit those classes to remove the font size definition within it. Remember that with Sigil, you need to set current file as the search target to search in a stylesheet.

Look for something such as:
Code:
.quotedtext {
    font-size : 0.75em;
    ....
    }
and either remove the font-size line or check what the class attached to the standard paragraph is using and use that font size instead.
