I'll second (third?) Idolse's comment on body & @page margins.
I've been just living with the annoying margins (it hardly seems worth hand fixing a thriller I'm going to read in a matter of hours & discard) but the xpgt removal is so easy and delightful now I want to fix the rest
And they're almost all as Idolse described. I suppose arguably Calibre's 5pt margins in the text block are 'book level' margins too, but they don't bother me (and are easy to control at conversion time)

Quote:
A preference to add back an @page css margin of the user's specification could also be useful, as it seems like the best practice from the epub sub-forums (and Calibre's default) is to use @page to specify margins across the book.
I think Calibre uses @page for top/bottom but .text class for right/left ....




Oh, I just realized this can get annoyingly messy... while the retail epubs I've been reading have one @page in the style sheet, Calibre puts an @page in each html block ...
