The book is in kepub format, and I'm reading it using the Gill Sans font. Am I misunderstanding the problem?

If You want to see on Your Kobo the effect of ligatures read a Kepub (no ligatures) and a Epub (ligatures) using for example the font embedded in the firmware Caecilia or Amasis and checking fi ffi fl ecc. To see better the difference You can increment the size of the font.
IMHO Amasis is much better with ligatures but can be read also without them while Caecilia without ligatures is very bad.
Not all fonts have ligatures, I could be wrong but as I can check from what I see Gill Sans has no ligatures.
