I wanted to do the hand edit thing, I'm fine with that. But I can't figure out how. The reader in question is Kobo Glo HD.
Which part did you mean to be hand edited?
The issue is the same like OP's. My kepub books fonts are at least 40% smaller than epubs.

There are 3 ways to do what you want. In all honesty I'd say the hand editing option is the one most like hard work and certainly not the one I'd recommend for an easy life in 2020.
But, as this is the option you're asking about ... You need to edit the CSS file(s) in your kepubs using whatever method you normally use. Append the following style rule to each one.
Code:
div#book-inner {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
If your kepub has been created with calibre (KoboTouchExtended plugin or Kepub Output plugin) this should work reliably. 99.99999% of standard epubs would ignore this very specific style.
The method mentioned in the second half of my post that you quoted is far less effort if you're a calibre user. There's more detail on
using a kobo_extra.css file here. You'd just need to add the above CSS rule to your kobo_extra.css file. The above style would then be automatically added to every CSS file of every epub and kepub sent to the Kobo via calibre without you having to do any manual editing.
The 3rd method of equalising font-size in kepubs & epubs, but only if you're a kobopatch user (or willing to become one) is to enable the patch named 'ePub uniform font scale'. If you do this you won't need to do any editing of CSS files because the font scale mismatch will be "fixed" in the firmware.
