Margins everywhere and nary a word to read...

The issue is that if the epub has internally set the margins to say 25 points for left and right margins, the Kobo will not reduce those margins so the text will have a good chunk of white space down each edge. Few epubs have margins set that way with most using 5pt or less margins. For conversion, it's 72 points to the inch if you are playing with typography. The situation with Kobo's kepub format is different since they use a different rendering engine and a different DRM scheme from the rendering engine and DRM used by the Adobe Reader Mobile used for epubs.
