Unfortunately I feel it will never happen. This issue isn't with Kobo specifically, it is to do with poor formatting of epubs in general. I have bought some epubs that are fantastic in formatting, but others are just dread (and they have been bought from Kobo, Borders, Readwithoutpaper....the list goes on).

Adobe either need to give the option of allowing ADE to adjust margins in the epub while reading (which wont happen), or remove those damn page numbers down the side and every epub publisher set the main body of the text to have 0 margins (which wont happen).

DRM-removal is all we can do.
