Basically if the Calibre css has xxpt for the body text indent the appearance on the Kobo, unlike Apps, Binatone Readme, PRS350 or mobi on a Kindle is about half what it should be, i.e. xx/2
Manually setting to 1.5em (also the default offered by Calibre) in the CSS looks about right, maybe a little more than the 17pt.
You can't use "ems" in the Wordprocessor.
I'll have to chop up some files. Can't be uploading an entire book.
I've not checked other things.
I do separately have a formatting issue that is very intermittent were titles, headings, images etc supposedly central are sometimes left justified.

Again, using absolute measurements such as points is not recommended. The conversion from points to pixels all too often does not pay attention to the size of the pixels with the renderer using 12 pts is 16 pixels regardless of screen resolution. Relative measurements scale to the screen size and will look much the same regardless of whether you are using an 600 x 800 or an 1404 x 1872 screen resolution ereader.
As for uploading the book, use the ebook scrambler plugin for calibre or it's standalone cousin. See
[GUI Plugin] ScrambleEbook: Getting help with copyrighted books for more information. For the standalone version, see
