This is also exactly how they are rendered in the stock reader, leading me to believe it's also applying auto hinting. I much prefer using the stock reader, but now that I've seen how much better text can look in Koreader, I can't go back!

Is there a way I can turn it off in the stock reader?

This post seems to suggest I can edit the Kobo stylesheet, but I couldn't figure out how to do that haha
Which firmware are you running and what font are you using? If the font hinted? I find that it doesn't matter if the font is hinted or not.
