That doesn't sound good. I don't see anything that bad on mine.

Kobos have 2 reading apps, the Adobe one for standard epubs and a different one for kepub. If you sync'd them directly using Kobo Desktop, the books you bought from Kobo will have been transferred in kepub format rather than standard epub. If your bottom menu has a small barchart as the second-right icon, it's a kepub.

The 2 reading apps take a different approach in trying to override the book styling with the options you choose from the Kobo font menu. The kepub app is more aggressive at enforcing your choices than the Adobe standard epub app. All books can be manually edited so that the font options work correctly in both kepub and epub formats. Well designed ones require no effort on the user's part but some require manual editing of the internal CSS file. Every user will decide how much work they're prepared to do.

If kepubs work best for you then you can get calibre to send your standard epubs as kepubs during the send-to-device process. There are pros and cons for each format.

But, if you're not going to keep the Kobo there's not much point going into any more detail.
