Is that the case with other Kobo devices?
Definitely not. Sometimes publishers create css code in their epubs that stop the Kobo adjustments working. I've never yet found a non-DRM sideloaded epub which can't be tweaked so that Kobo adjustments work properly.

ereader developers have 2 choices:
1. Ignore any internal epub css and use only the device settings
2. Use device settings unless internal epub css says different.

As far as I know, Kobo uses the type-2 approach. Personally, I'd be very irritated with any device which completely ignored my own css settings.
