adobe de concern. wasted some cash.

i just bought first book from shortcovers and it was angels and demons. Dont like the way the text is super narrow on the page. Both on the adobe de program on my computer and the ezreader. no way to change that?

some other free books look great!

I've gotten a couple of ePubs with goofy margins (kinda xtra large). At least I think that's what you're describing. I was able to change them just fine by unDRMing the file. Not sure if you can change it while it's still DRM'd or not.

When I purchase or download ePub, most of the time I edit them to remove any margins and if there are no embedded fonts, I'll have the ePub use the fonts I have on my 505. I'll also fix any font size issues and margin issues. Doesn't really take all that long.

But for ePub with DRM, you have to have the software to strip the DRM.

I prefer the looks of mobi as for as the formating.

I actually said the same thing, but I think it may worth it for the page number on the right margin. It covers up like 3 letters. O_O
