If you can't find an ereader that automatically zooms to eliminate white margins, you can easily remove white margins from pdfs yourself using ImageMagick (free program). The IM command to remove white margins from a single pdf input.pdf and output the trimmed pdf to output.pdf is:

convert -fuzz 15% -bordercolor white -trim input.pdf output.pdf

Or you could remove the white margins from a whole folder of pdfs using the following IM command:

mogrify -fuzz 15% -bordercolor white -trim *.pdf

Hope that helps.
