Actually, I understand CSS inside out, as I am a hobby web developer. Epubs' internal CSS is easy to switch off, if the app allows it. If the app does not allow it, I call it an unreasonable app and you need a better app.

And here's the review where my claim about Kobo's outrageous margins came from https://youtu.be/P-PWy-KaF2g?t=194 As said, I don't own a Kobo, but based on this review, if I bought one and found the inbuilt app to be an obstacle like it seems to be, I'd install another reading app.

This does not mean I hate Kobo. For me it's good to know that I can make the software likeable when needed (and from reviews I have gathered it's needed). I would buy it mainly for the hardware. In the OP's comparison, the Tolino has better hardware.
