I'm thinking that the margin width is also a software/formatting problem?

A new firmware can deliver a new 'feature' enabling you to dick around with the margins.
I went through the process of stripping DRMs, trying to format and convert books in calibre just to get something that was readable and using most of the space available on the KOBO.
It was time consuming and usually ended badly, as my conversion knowledge is lacking and basically i was going to have to use Sigil as well. So 3 programs just to get a book on the KOBO was taking the piss; i'd like to see the KOBO be able to adjust the margins 'in the box'.
We'll see... eventually.
