I've copied Bookerly font and other fonts before and they look fine.

It depends on what font size you like to read at. Apple
recommends New York Small for 20 pt and lower, and New York Medium for 20-35 pt. The problem is, I don't know how the Kobo font slider equates to pt size. So I'm just using New York Small since I like to read closer to the left side of the font size slider.
However, if you just straight copy the fonts over to your Kobo, they'll look bold because the internal weights are all messed up (MacOS probably ignores what's there in favor of using their own Dynamic Text Sizing algorithms. You'll need to open up each of the fonts in something like Fontforge and correct the weights to match the font type (both PANOSE
and Style Map), instructions on how to do so are scattered around this thread).
