I had a similar problem with one book as well, Infinite Jest. After writing back and forth to Kobo, this is what they told me to do. I am not sure if it works, as my solution was to remove the CSS file from the book and then upload it onto my Kobo using Calibre, which fixed the problem.

This is what Kobo said to do:

We have had some issue with some books not changing font size properly. Redownloading the book to the Kobo eReader can fix the issue. Please try the following steps.

1 Sign in to your online Kobo account at www.kobobooks.com
2 Go to the "Library" and the "I'm Reading" section.
3 Delete "Infinite Jest " from your "I'm Reading" list. It is only temporary.
4 Plug your Kobo eReader into your computer and open the Desktop software.
5 Click on the "Update Library" button to remove the bad copy of the book.
6 Click on "Sync" to remove the bad copy from the Kobo eReader.
7 Eject and unplug the Kobo eReader to make sure "Infinite Jest " has been removed.
8 Sign in to your online Kobo account at www.kobobooks.com
9 Go to the "Library" and the "Trash" section.
10 Undelete "Infinite Jest " so that it goes back to your "I'm Reading" section.
11 Plug your Kobo eReader into your computer and open the Desktop software.
12 Click on "Update Library" to download a new copy of "Infinite Jest"
13 Click on "Sync" to transfer the new copy to the Kobo eReader.
14 Eject and unplug the Kobo eReader to make sure "Infinite Jest " has been loaded and is working properly.
