Who is to say that these professional UI designers actually know what the users want? What valid reason is there for not giving the users a setting of no margins along with differing margin settings? You'd then get the margins you like and I'd get rid of margins I don't like.
Bluefire does a good job with the margins on it's least margins setting. When you have an iPhone, a margin of 41 pixels is too big. The iPhone is only 3.5". Quite small.
I do feel sorry for you because you have the corporate view of things and not the user view. You think that someone who is a professional knows what's best for the user and the user has no clue what's good for them. Have you ever thought that the user knows what's best for the user?
I have a feeling that you may be one of these UI guys who doesn't actually have a clue what the user wants. The idea is to please the user so the user uses your product. I don't use a Kindle because I don't like some of the things forced upon us by the UI guys. I don't like the forced margins. I don't like the font. I don't like the line-height bug in the KF8 code. There are things the programmers should fix and should have fixed yesterday.
