What happened to Kobo's epub support?

Browsing through other posts, it seems that publishers can set body text font sizes to whatever they like, and yet all my kepubs look like the body font size are the same. *

That is one of the problems, but, there is scaling difference between epubs and kepubs. If you put the same book on as both an epub and kepub, with the same font size selected in the font settings, the text in the epub will appear to be bigger. In general, it just means you might need to set the font for each book when you first open it. But, that would only be needed if you swap formats a lot. If you read 10 epubs in a row and then a kepub, then back to an epubs, you would need to set the font size twice (assuming there were no font size differences in the books).

This has never changed. It has always been like this for epubs and kepubs. Exactly how much difference depends on the device, or, the screen resolution. There has been changes in exactly how much the difference is with the changes in font handling over the years, but, the overall problem has remained the same.

I had read about the font size differences (many times) between epubs and kepubs. I was refering only to kepubs.

Sorry for the confusion.
