It would be a firmware update. As to the ease it depends on the integration. It can be a bit tricky to honor some CSS margins and not others but it is doable. I think it just has to be communicated as important. For example the CSS information may have to be interpreted differently that the statement says. For example take a user defined margin and then the text needs to indent a particular paragraph. It may turn out that the CSS has absolute numbers defined which will need to be interpreted as relative with regard to the user defined margins. In addition the feature of increasing font sizes has to be considered. There are hundreds of details like this. It is doable but not trivial. ePUB is fairly complex standard with lots of variables.
