It does sound as if a full reset will have to be the next step.

"Point of contention" referred not to anything you'd written about the Kobo issues, but to the request that I stop using font-size changes in my replies.

>> I can't think of the last time I sideloaded an epub and the font settings couldn't be changed. That means I find the idea that all of your books can't have these changes strange, or a fluke of your book selection. It could be that because of the books you like, they all come from one publisher who uses a particular style.

As I said: The book in question, as first downloaded from the Kobo site, behaved like all the others downloaded that way. It could be set at my option to flush-left/ragged right. The same is true of all books I've purchased so far from the Kobo site, their publishers notwithstanding. When I gave up on sync via wifi and switched to the ADE solution, that's when the inability to change to FL/RR became apparent.

The problem-child book is not side-loaded via manual copying. (On the other hand, when I've side-loaded DRM-free books via manual copying to the device's .kobo subdirectory, there's been no problem changing their text alignment to FL/RR.)
