My current book, written with LaTeX, was designed for 8-1/2 x 11, double-sided printing. When I first made the pdf available, students pointed out that the margins were too wide, and the binding gutter was a hassle. With a little arithmetic, I gave the pdf version 0.1" uniform margins but kept the pagination the same as with the print version. So the professor can refer to a page number, and that works for both the pdf and paperback versions.
