I received my new H2O 2nd edition to replace my lost H2O 1st edition. I use calibre to manage my books and side load everything. I decided to try kepub to see if I liked it (I particularly wanted the page count by chapter). I used the KoboTouchExtended plugin to perform the conversion. And I have noticed a couple of anomalies.

First, I use the custom font, Bookerly, and in kepub italicized words are also bolded. This doesn't happen in the epub.

Second, the font size are drastically different between the two formats. Kepub has a smaller size than the epub version. I use settings in the Kobo eReader.conf to set initial values: readingFontFamily, readingFontSize. For an epub the FontSize value of 20 seems equivalent to the Kepub FontSize of 30. Based on what I have read, I assume this is due to built-in stylesheets for kepub vs epub or am I missing something? Do I have to use the patches to change this behavior?

thanks.
