Try ChareInk7SP. I find I get a lot less hyphens with the smaller space then the regular space.
Is the spacing smaller than with ChareInk6, which I occasionally use?

It's the same size space. But the kerning is better.

Well, I don't use kerning, so I'll keep the 6 for now.

There are more improvements besides the addition of kerning. So it's worth it to switch.

Proportional Oldstyle figures
Capital N Left Hook default changed to lowercase style
Additional character support including Unicode 16
Consistent autohinting
General improvements

Calibre is the easy fix for anything which is wrong with your epub file. In this case, it's a CSS issue and to fix it, select EDIT BOOK from the right-click menu. In the edit window which appears, scroll down to find the stylesheet section and delete all the files you see in that section: This will remove all the clearly wrong CSS code and what remains will be pure, readable, text. Save & replace the file on your device.

Calibre is absolutely essential if you have an e-reader.

It's not a css issue. It's an issue with the Kobo kepub renderer.

Besides, deleting all the css files in a book is about the worst idea ever, as it removes the formatting and basically leaves you with a simple text file. If that's what you personally like, good for you, but most people want to read a book, not just a text file. There are other ways to fix bad css. Which is not even the reason for the OP's problem.

I hate bad keming.
This is not a CSS or HTML issue. It's a bug in the kepub renderer, though KFX is worse.
