As for the bold-italic problem, it isn't enough for just the names to match; the weight of the font needs to be consistent between the PS Name, OS/2 and PANOSE tables as well. That's why some people strip all the PANOSE data out as usually that's where most fonts that have issues have the wrong weight set. I believe the issue with stock Courier Prime is that the PANOSE weights are set to thin for all four variants, when they really should be set to either Book or Bold depending on the type and Kobo is picky about stuff like that.
If you're looking for a Courier font that's optimized for Kobo, why not check out
GeoffR's modified version of Courier Prime? He corrected the PANOSE weights and made a few other tweaks.
