What you are seeing is the expected behaviour. The first image is an epub. If the later are either purchased books or previews, they are kepubs. There is a scaling difference between the epub and kepub renderer. This has always been the case. There was a change in how this works in a recent firmware version, but, it shouldn't make a difference when reading.

If you were not seeing this difference before, it usually means a patch as @DNSB suggested, or you were sideloading as kepub instead of epub. And while you state you have never used kepubs, you would not be the first person to have made that mistake. If you have been using calibre with the KoboTouchExtended driver, then that will have sideloaded books as kepub, not epub.

But, a simple reason is that the default font size on the device would produce that difference. If you have lost the setting from the config file, then the next epub that you open will appear to large. Once you change the setting, it is used for all books until the next time you change it.
