Thanks RG1. However, it wasn't just the one, so I will need to process my entire library. This is possible through Calibre, which is going to be quite time-consuming for all my books, and I am going to need to pick each cover by hand if I want to use my simple generated covers (for 3000+ books).

This gives me something I can work with if I don't want to go the Calibre route and want to script something myself. But I don't quite understand what is actually causing the margins to be added. This has happened with every epub, from various sources. Right now I am predominantly using epubs from feedbooks.com, whose formatting is generally very good. If the kobo is just reading the first page, then it would imply that feedbooks (and the other publishers) are setting up their first page to squeeze the cover image and add margins, which seems odd.
And yeah, I think the inode thing was a complete red herring. I don't quite know why I was thinking that.
