You’re right. It’s Kobo’s relative settings that is causing the issue. I do recall others discussing it, but I don’t recall any solutions. Apparently, there are none.

Fortunately, once I edit the size, Kobo keeps that size for the remainder of my reading. What has changed that has caused the discrepancy in font sizing between the formats? And what problem did the change solve? I can’t say that I’m a fan of this relative sizing. I switch between purchased and sideloaded ebooks often.
Nothing has changed. It has always been a difference between the epub and kepub renderers. And swapping between purchased kepubs and sideloaded epubs will show it. If you sideload as kepub, there should be no difference except for what is actually in the books. And there is a patch that adjusts one of the sizes.
