Yes, it's just a simple text file called kobo_extra.css which you create yourself in the root directory of the Kobo. Then you can stuff it with any CSS you think might "assist" your epubs/kepubs. Any CSS you add will be appended to the end of each book's internal CSS file(s) during the calibre send-to-device.

You can read more about it here. It works the same with either the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended calibre drivers.

I think KTE does have an extra option to store a set of these files on your PC so different versions can be copied to different Kobo models, but I don't use this option myself. I'm happy doing my own one-off copying of the file to the root directory.

There is an easy trick to allow you to add CSS which will affect your kepub styling but not (99.9999% of the time) your epub styling.

Caveat: There's no "magic" at play here. All the normal rules/limitations of CSS inheritance and order will apply.

If you decide to try it out and need specific help, feel free to come back and ask more detailed questions.
