First, where do you even find fonts? this thread? How do you change the size of fonts? I posted two pics as an example. I would like to have more words on the page.
Also, what is Kepub? Just the Kobo format for ebooks? Is there a beginner guide somewhere? I can be pretty tech savvy, but manipulating ereaders and ebooks is new to me.

1) you can find fonts in this thread or online some are free some you’d have to pay for and given the typical pricing it’s questionable if it’s worth it just to use on an ereader.
2) you’ll find your fonts by opening a book, tapping to bring up the menus and tapping the Aa icon on the top. You’ll also find line height and margin controls here.
3) while the above will get you more words per page to fully maximize your words per page you’ll have to patch your kobo which is fairly easy. You’ll find instructions in the developer’s forum here.
With patches and disabling the header and footer etc I’ve basically got text nearly edge to edge on my Forma. I have some margin because 1) I’m not gonna fuss over space that’s less than the height of the text 2) to give descender a bit of space so they don’t rub against the edge of the screen.
However I’m willing to read with a fairly narrow line height to achieve this goal. Not everyone is comfortable with it when I’ve shown it to them.
