Sample epub for margins wide and narrow

Set margin in first book I read and it worked. Never worked again on next 27 books and I tried.

After upgrading to 2.3.1 margin changing worked on all four books I tried it on.
All epubs, all converted with calibre (I like my books formatted a certain way) all with calibre margins settings in page setup as 4.0 points.

Next time I add on a book, I will convert with 24 pt margins and see what happens.

I've attached two copies of Charles Stross' Toast and other stories to this message.

Toast-wide.epub has my usual margin settings while Toast-narrow.epub has the margins set to a minimum of 25pt (some of the special items use narrower margins). As I said earlier, most books use minimal margins but you run into the odd one that uses wide margins, some for valid reasons, some for reasons that I can't grok.

Regards,
David
