So for anyone who is in my situation, to save them wading through many threads across the forum, a summary of the solution is as follows:

- The -Bold and -BoldItalic files are fine, and do not need modification
- The -Regular and -Italic files both have a panose weight of Medium, which is problematic according to jackie_w's explanation: "Instead of values Medium/Demi Kobo expects values of Book/Bold respectively."
- jackie-w provides clear instructions as to how to change the panose weight here:

Minor disagreement. The Bookerly-Bold variant is okay but Bookerly-BoldItalic shows a Panose weight of Demi and needs to be changed to Bold.
