Maybe, if it is implemented this way. Bu the CSS standard says you should not use em here so I assume it is not well defined what will happen.

ah, are they formatting their margins using ems ? somebody should tell harlequin to quit doing that. i sympathise with those people too. but yes, that's exactly what will happen if you do use them.

Not in 2.1 at least: "The page context has no notion of fonts, so 'em' and 'ex' units are not allowed. ". Since they are not alllowed it is unspecified what happens if they are used. It would be correct to turn off the reader when you see an em in a @page specification.

I have a really, really badly formatted epup book... Can Sigel help me with that, or is it better just to convert to RTF, edit and then convert back to epup using Calibre?

It's better to use a percentage, but my preference is to use an absolute size unit, like points (pt - 1/72 inch), picas (pc - 1/12 inch), mm, cm or inches (in). All these are supported in the ePub flavour of XHTML/CSS. |

I know what you mean, but in this case it's probably the right thing to do - the margin is there to give a little gap between the edge of the display and the start of the text to cope with slight mis-alignments, shadows from bezels, etc. This probably needs to be the same (small) amount whatever size of display, or size of text.
