Since pt is a actual distance which is not related to font size, it has no similarity to any value in em.
I'm not saying that you cannot use pt, but hat you should not use pt as it's sloppy coding. As you can tell, pt is not always properly rendered. IT's not just a Kobo issue. So use em and you'll have things properly rendered.
