I take it you are reading KePub format.
If you patch, and customise the
KePub stylesheet additions patch to add the optimizeLegibility rendering option, it will enable some standard ligatures in the KePub reader. Depending on the particular font you might also need to either edit the stylesheet in the KePub book or edit the font itself if you want to enable additional ligatures such as historical ligatures. If you read with the text fully justified you would also need to put up with some side-effects such as uneven word spacing.
But you can do what that patch does (and more) by editing the book's stylesheet and sideloading it as a KePub. So you might want to try that first with one book as a test before patching the firmware, to see whether it does what you expect and whether you can live with the side-effects. The line to add to the book's stylesheet to get the same effect as the patch is
body{text-rendering:optimizeLegibility}
(IMO if you want to read with ligatures and fully justified text you are probably better to sideload the book as an ePub, as the uneven word spacing in KePubs with this combination is very bad.)
