FWIW, I never use letter-spacing myself. I always assume it's a crude attempt to simulate small-caps, so better to use font-variant or a small-caps font-family than letter-spacing - if the actual text content is suitably mixed case.
here is the code I commented out. They are all em, just different amounts.
Code:
  /* letter-spacing: 0.15em; */

I had converted purchased books to KEPUB and had noticed this effect before. The books render fine in ADE (on Kobo)/Calibre/Sigil
IMHO the space should NOT get touched. Instead it seems to null out completely.
